    Get the MEATER on Amazon: amzn.to/3e7Dz7E
    Cheap Instant-Read Temp Probe (If you have no budget and can buy nothing else. It's a good starter and will work for a year or two just fine. Not a replacement for a leave-in probe): amzn.to/37ROmSi
    Marinade Injector (needed to inject brisket, pork, turkey etc. to retain moisture and add flavor): amzn.to/3jFfSVq

    Set of Good BBQ Knives: amzn.to/34HQoTk
    Bread Knife (Your workhorse for slicing brisket): amzn.to/3kHSkke

    Love doing turkey this way. Easiest thing ever. I usually just buy a Butterball since it's already brined let it get to room temp for a hour, dry it, rub peanut oil on it and salt and pepper to give it that fried turkey taste/skin and then throw a few Weber Hickory chips on the coals for the first hour like you do. The only way you can really screw it up is just getting too big a turkey. Don't even need to spritz it cus the peanut oil never even gets super dark or burns. Once the wings get dark I just throw some loose foil on them to protect them from the fire on both sides for the last hour (takes about 3 hours). Crispy and yummy outside like a fried turkey with a smoky flavor inside. Best of both worlds.

    Great video. How many coals do you put on each side? I usually use lighter fluid, that ok? I have a 15 LB kosher turkey so it was brined already. How long do you think this will take? My grill always gets hotter then it should.

    Compared to smoking a tri tip, or brisket, why do you choose 350 degrees, instead of a lower 200-225? Just curious, I’ve never smoked a turkey before, but gonna try this thanksgiving!

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ
      @SmokeTrailsBBQ  2 роки тому +4

      The higher Temps are needed to crisp up the skin.

  • @ryanservizzi6675
    @ryanservizzi6675 3 роки тому +1

    Do you measure the 350* temperature at the grate, or at the top of the dome? My kettle has a built in thermometer on the dome and it always seems wildly inaccurate.

    About how long does it take to cook a 10 - 14 pound turkey with this method. It looks great!

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ

      Hi Debbie. Thanks for watching! It took 2.5 hours

  • @gableclark3272
    @gableclark3272 7 місяців тому +1

    Should we inject the turkey as well? And if so, with what? maybe the the rub and butter ?

  • @thomaswhitten2537
    @thomaswhitten2537 4 роки тому +2

    Yes, I tried a 21 pounder on the charcoal one time...disaster! Definitely want the smaller turkey. Always better the next day too! Good video!

    At 350 how long does it take? Great vid btw! Perfect and not full of pork like other vids. 😬

  • @markstewart531
    @markstewart531 3 роки тому +2

    I'm not well versed in smoking meat, but I thought the temperature is supposed to be lower.....225 or 250. But you recommended 350, why?
    Just confirm, you recommended about 2.5 hours for a 10-14lb turk?
    I'm going to give your instructions ago!
    Thanks for the video

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ
      @SmokeTrailsBBQ  3 роки тому +3

      You need the higher temps to crisp up the skin and make it "bite through". Anything lower than 300 and the skin will be rubbery. It will taste smokey for sure, but like smokey rubber :)

  • @casandrabrowne4805
    @casandrabrowne4805 3 роки тому +2

    When you say “refresh the coals every hour”, do u mean by simply adding about 5 charcoals to each side like you did in this video?

    Can you fill the tray with liquid for the smoke?

    • @stephenk.3226
      @stephenk.3226 3 роки тому +1

      @@timthemailman7581 A common technique is to add water to the tray for some added moisture to the cooker, which will help prevent the skin from drying out, however, he is spritzing the turkey every hour so adding any liquid to the tray is superfluous unless you want some additional aromas from the liquid (such as beer) to infuse the meat with. Mainly he is just using the tray to catch drippings, which will keep the bottom of the kettle clean.

    What is some other ingredients? Are you doing secrets because that day is long gone. We may like or may not, its millions cooking this bird and you and your secret dont make a dent. Pardon me if that sounds heavy but you not imparting knowledge if you short change people. How would you feel if your daddy was the dude nextdoor and we all knew but you did not.
