I think letting it ride for 2 hours before opening the lid definitely helped the skin form that beautiful color. Might be the best looking smoked turkey on UA-cam!
Looks great I have a smokey mountain 22 Im having 20 guest over for thanksgiving .I would like to smoke 2 turkeys between 12 to 14 lbs Want to serve gravy so I'm going to use a roasting pan inside the smoke mountain placing the turkey in the roasting pan on the lower shelf or( is it to close to the heat .?) I'm going to put the coals in a snake chain and add coils as needed i have a blower system that holds set temps bbq guru system works great when I'm smoking one turkey top shelf i want to use your method on top rack and use the pan on the lower any ideas how this would work
I'm not 100 % as I have never done that before but I certainly think it's possible. Just make. sure to keep a close eye on it and you will more than likely have to rotate them.
I think those damn flies are over here now Jaxx! Glad you cut the gooch and didn't let the clothes fall completely off LOL! I'll tell you....I've seen about all of the turkey videos that I can handle this fall but I had to watch yours and that turkey was absolutely, hands down the most beautiful one that I've seen! A fricken home run for sure! I need you on speed dial for sure LOL!! Hope all is well over there bud. Take care!
What if I don’t have that pan you used could I just use the The bowl with no water would that still work close to the same or what I need to get something like that
Hey Chris, using just the water pan would not work because it's not perforated. You would not be able to get the drippings to hit the coals. You could maybe modify a pizza pan if you can find one big enough and put some holes in it. You definitely want to use something to deflect the heat. Maybe someone can chime in on this with some other ideas.
I am planning on doing this method except adding in an aluminum tray with chicken stock to catch the drippings instead of the water bowl. Any thoughts?
Following your method for friendsgiving tomorrow! love the WSM, but only have dabbled in pork on it! First time with a turkey, hoping it turns out as well as yours! Thanks for the video.
Well done. Loved the rosemary butter basting. Nice touch. I do recommend you ditch the briquettes and do it with lump charcoal next time. Also, top vent should always be wide open. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍻
Hey brother thanks for the positive comment and the tips. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. Looking forward to checking out you channel. Just watched your video on the Old Country pits. Nice review on it.
Turned out damn good. It was the best Turkey I've ever smoked. I still prefer a deep fried over smoked but that's just me, two totally different beast you know, not even really a fair comparison.
Your technique for massaging your breast, is very similar to my technique for rubbing my meat🤣 Good thing his clothes didn't fall all the way off, it could have went to rated R LOL! That was a beautiful bird Jaxx!!
Lol it's clothes are falling off haha. That had me laughing man. Dang that looked good. I need to get out there and put a turkey on my Orion. The massaging part was my favorite part. Not sure why. Hey have you done any kayak camping latly? Later dude.
Great video sir, quick question.. what was the weight of your Turkey? My personal bird is 18.5 lbs and I'd like to try the spatchcock method this year on my 22in WSM. Do you think I'll have enough room? Thanks in advance my friend. #newsubbie

I appreciate that Scotty!
I use a pizza pan as a deflector. I don’t generally use the pan on chicken or turkeys. I also use cooking spray on the outside. Great looking bird!
Pizza pan...I like that Boslager's!
Jaxx, awesome job brother. One of the best-looking birds I've seen this year so far!
Hey Tommy thank you man that means a lot brother.

@Jaxx Drinkwater Southern Cooking & BBQ 👍
Interesting idea about using a old Smokey plate instead of a water pan. Is your WSM a 18 or 22?
My WSM is the 22 inch.
That turkey turned out beautiful happy thanksgiving
Hey man thank you. You have a great Thanksgiving as well.
Sure looked good to me, Jaxx. I will have to start looking for a WSM at the yard sales. Thank you for the terrific recipe. Stay safe and stay cool
I bought mine on Craigs list for like 120 bucks . I thought I got a pretty good deal.. Good luck brother.

What kind of wood chunks did you use, also how long was your cook at what temperature, thanks

Go for it! Let me know how it goes!
Definitely was a beautiful bird Jaxx. Can you taste the rosemary?
To be honest not at all but it sure works great as a brush :)
How many chunks of wood and what flavor was used on this bird? I have a 20lb I'm doing this week. Thanks in advance. Nice looking bird u did
just a couple of chunks and I used Hickory.
Incredible looking gobbler Jaxx! Thanks for sharing Brother! 👊
Thanks Brandon. Hope you are staying safe buddy.
What wood did you use?? Looks great and thank you for the information.
Hey, I used pecan wood.
What kind of heat diffuser is that???? I have the firedial ....
Absolutely beautiful Brother! Thanks for sharing with us! 👊
Hey thank you Brandon for stopping by buddy.
that looked so good great job
Thanks buddy!
I enjoyed that brother!!
Thanks brother man!
Following your method for friendsgiving tomorrow! love the WSM, but only have dabbled in pork on it! First time with a turkey, hoping it turns out as well as yours! Thanks for the video.
Which wood did you use?
HEY ED, I used Pecan for my smoke.
I love smoked turkey. That looked great.
Thanks buddy! Hope you and yours are doing well sir.
Great video, good looking bird
Thank you my friend.

@@JaxxDrinkwater - Thanks!
Always take advice on how to cook a bird from a man that looks like the KFC colonel sanders.
Looks beautiful
Looks fantastic - thanks for the video! Trying it tomorrow.
How big was the bird and do you think I can do it on a 18 instead of 22
My bird was about 10 pounds so yea I think you could do it on an 18.
@@JaxxDrinkwater thanks alot wasn't sure about the space being spatchcocked
Hell of a beard, hell of a turkey
Thanks brother.
So no water pan?? I don’t have one of those other pans you replaced it with. Is it ok to just do it with no water pan just empty??
Yes but you if it's not perforated you wont get the drippings hitting the coals.
@@JaxxDrinkwater but you can save the drippings for smoked gravy *drool*
Looked Delicious Jaxx
Thanks you for the comment James.
Heck yeah your a beast
Hey Grant how are you brother?
@@JaxxDrinkwater jaxx im aight bro just trying to anticipate what the world is doing lol...hope you and yours are 👍
How did the skin turn out Jaxx, it sure looked good.
Turned out damn good. It was the best Turkey I've ever smoked. I still prefer a deep fried over smoked but that's just me, two totally different beast you know, not even really a fair comparison.
@@JaxxDrinkwater I love deep fried turkey, we have had many garage parties around a Turkey pot..........just don't like the mess. :-)
Dammit Jaxx, this makes my bird look anemic! Beautiful cook brother! Definitely a job well done !
Bahahaha, Every now and again I get lucky.. Thanks for taking a peek at it Kent.
Your technique for massaging your breast, is very similar to my technique for rubbing my meat🤣 Good thing his clothes didn't fall all the way off, it could have went to rated R LOL! That was a beautiful bird Jaxx!!
Hahaha I'm betting an X-rated version would have be very interesting to see.... or not.. laughing...
I was not expecting that fu man chu after the intro.
Lol it's clothes are falling off haha. That had me laughing man. Dang that looked good. I need to get out there and put a turkey on my Orion. The massaging part was my favorite part. Not sure why.
Hey have you done any kayak camping latly?
Later dude.
Hahaha, I think the massaging was my favorite part to besides the eating :) Thanks for the comment man.
@@JaxxDrinkwater You know that's right haha. Anytime bro.
Looks great

Welcome Nicholas!
My bird was 12 pounds, I believe. I think your bird should be fine.
@@JaxxDrinkwater Where in the South are you from, I'm born and raised in Louisiana.. Thanks for the reply brother.
Awesome job Brotha!! Imma Try This out on My *SnS ®™💕Kettle Grill* (With some Modifications of coarse) Grill Me Up one of These Jokers!™ LOL

Dang that bird looks good! Really nice skin and color, juicy with the injection too. Serious massage action going on. Awesome job brother!
Hey Charley thanks buddy. Hope you and yours are doing well man.
OMG YOUR LONG CHIN HAIR IS TOTALLY AWESOME
This dude did not just call a turkey taint a gooch. Lmao
I believe that is the proper anatomical term for it.
#Weber4Life
Heck yea man. Webers are king!
Nom Nom Nomohlishis
WTF lol
There's an elephant in te room, I couldn't really pay attention.
is your injection warm?
Not warm, but just enough to melt the butter. Between room temp and warmish.
