It won't help if youre smoking the turkey, but cooking in an oven bag is awesome. It cuts down the time and helps keep the bird moist.That is a great idea. I will do that. I also realize I should have started a bit earlier. This was our best tasting turkey but not quite the moistest.
Wife’s family loves playing games in the other room, but I just cannot do it now with a stomach full of a turkey meal and 4 Guinness’s. Message boards only thing keeping me awake on the couch currently.
You can also put a pan of water in your smoker. Adds some humidity.
If you buy a fresh turkey, definitely wet brine. Many you buy in a grocery store come pre brined.
Not in front of the guests @BobPSU92!My job is to go f*ck myself.
Second this. My wife loves cooking on ours but also loves not covering it up when she’s done. Every once in a while I need to get the wire wheel out to get it back to its original state.
I don’t know sizes. Mine has two knobs, if that helps. It’s big enough to make bacon, sausage, and breakfast potatoes at the same time to feed my family of 6.
We got the 4 burner Sams Club version. I believe its 36 inches. Its awesome to cook on. Anything I do in my cast iron skillet I do out there. The big difference is I can get everything done way faster. If seasoned right, cleanup is fairly easy.
Blackstone makes models with warmer trays and air fryer. But outside of that, they are essentially a large cast iron griddle.
I agree. Those city turkeys arent good. Even the suburb turkeys can be questionable.
I raised a turkey here in the Jersey suburbs. He was a prick.
Stay out of my wife's way. Anticipate what she may need. Do that quickly without getting in her way. Compliment her cooking (not hard, she's a fantastic cook.) Help take the dishes to the kitchen without stacking the dishes. We cannot have the underside of a dish dirtied.
If you brine it, and cover with foil for the last 40 minutes or so it's doesn't dry out.
