Oh no you didn't!
Oh yes I did!
I've noticed that lots of people want to do turducken on the smoker but it is sort of frowned upon considering the size and danger zone issues but I'm a rebel, or maybe just
Let me say that I would never risk anyones health or safety by doing something stupid so here's what's doing with the birdie.
Turducken, normally $60 but was on sale for $30, Hell yeah!
Read some reviews on this brand and some people loved it but a few of the more common complaints were that the meat wasn't flavorful enough and that the turkey breast ends up dry. Oh, and that it has a tendency to fall apart when thawing or cooking.
My solution to fix these problems was to tie it up while thawing then again before cooking, bacon on top for moisture and smoke for flavor
Birds actual weight was close to 17lbs and thought it was too big to fit on my gas smoker. Could have done it on the CG but screwed up ankle and hobbling around I went a slightly easier route.
Took the legs off of my Weber Kettle and fit that on top of the gas smoker, sealed up the gaps with some foil.
Gonna run the smoker at 350 for 2 hours, check internal and see where it's at and toss into the oven if I'm not convinced it will push past 140 before 4 hours is up.
Smoking with a mixture of apple and hickory.
Will update as it cooks and finishes
