    Thank you, Malcom! Last week when I saw this video I knew I had to try it for my work's potluck today. I've smoked turkeys in the past but have never deep fried them. I made two smok-a-fried turkeys today for the potluck and everyone absolutely loved them. Thanks for the inspiration and keep cookin'!

    Malcom, you take BBQ to the limit! I've done the brine and the smoke but never have I thought about a deep fry as a finish . I can't stop thinking about this. I'm going to have to try it. I just don't think my wife will trust me with a turkey, I might try a chicken first. Thank you Malcom , you're the man!

      I did a couple chickens on the smoker two weeks ago for practice. My wife picked up a Turkey for me to smoke this Sunday to perfect. Now he adds a deep fryer to finish the turkey off and I am back and square one.

      @@garywilliams7484 Lol, I know what you mean! The deep fry finish for such a short time and the extra amount of work to achieve that perfection has my brain in a knot. I guess I'm going to drink more beer till I can convince myself that level of BBQ perfection comes with a price.

      @@garywilliams7484 Your right, that is a lot of cost to just get a crispy skin. But like Malcom said, you can reuse that oil. I typically fry a couple of turkeys for family and friends and then I use the oil for the last time on Rivalry Saturday to deep fry Buffalo chickens and have a watch party for all the great college games that day. So I use that oil on at least 3-4 turkeys and a couple of chickens, getting my moneys worth out the oil. And something about a smo-fried turkey sets it apart from a plain ol' smoked turkey.

    Let me tell you something Malcolm, I have been watching your videos for a long time now. You have such great recipes and we all know your food tastes good, you can't trust a skinny cook. This video is so great that I tried it yesterday and you know what? My kids didn't like the taste of just plain cooked turkey but when I gave them this, they asked for seconds and wanted more a few hours later. Thank you for your videos and the awesome camera work from the wife. Thank you again

    I had issues with my fryer burner this thanksgiving with 2 turkeys to cook. Put the first one in and the oil temp was not recovering. With time running out with family on the way, I fired up my pit and thru the first bird in it to finish. Dropped the second bird in the fryer to get it going. Ended up frying both birds to half way done and finished off in the pit. They came out AWESOME!!! Family said that was my best ones yet. I highly recommend this procedure.

    Is the probe you used the standard one that comes with the dot thermometer set? It would be so nice to have one in the bird when dropping it in the oil. Having to pull it up to use an instant read thermometer every few minutes is a pain.
