    Turkey fails no matter the method are due to over cooking the bird. Use a thermometer. Many cook the bird first and leave in in a covered pan where it continues to cook. Turkey is best left over in turkey sandwiches in my opinion. Happy thanksgiving

    Put one on about an hour and half ago on the Primo. When it's done, I'm going to let it rest and take to the m-n-l's where I'll drop it in some oil for about 30-45min and crisp it up.

    Wrap those drum tips with foil and pull the bird at 160

    Man I will give it to you, that really enhanced the smoke flavor in the bird. Son (had no idea what I did ) asked me why it tasted so much better smoked. He could really get the flavor in it. I could as well, and that is saying something with my almost no existent sense of taste

    Turned out great

    I am with you, never again will I smoke a turkey not spatchcocked. Guess for some reason I was intimidated by doing one that way

    I did brine my for about 12 hrs, just never tried to spatchcock one due to figuring lot of work. Very simple and I already had poultry shears anyway I never use.
