Did this last year for my moms 75th birthday
here is the monster in the cryo-pac......just under 19 pounds
the brine.......molasses based, with half the salt. I soaked the bird for a couple days to try and remove most of the factory brine, hence half the salt. I did last turkey day turkey this way and it was out of this world. I also injected this bird with the brine, like the last one.
outta the brine, and draining. you can see where the brine colored the skin brownish
sittin pretty, on a 40 oz bean can. Thankx smokin steve for the idea, so i wouldn't have to split this bad boy. you can also see where the turkey rested up against the cooler. It didn't get the color
here it is, sitting in the smoker. I dusted it with corn startch, from a idea of CinnamonKC, thankx for the idea. we will see if it helps with crisping up the skin.
outside temps are 46. cloudy, with lite sprinkles.......fingers crossed
3 hours in......internals 150 smoker temps 250-275
okay........just pulled it, its resting now this took about 5.5 hours total
when i pulled it off, the skin slid up as you can see in this pic
was a great smoke, and enjoyed by all
