Turkey in the #2

I always buy extra turkeys at Thanksgiving so I have some in the summer. I decided it was time to use it up so I brined the turkey overnight to be set for morning. In the morning I rinsed and dried the turkey and then applied olive oil and rub. At noon I put it in the smoker with 3.5 oz maple, set for 250, and added a water pan. 4.5 hours later the IT was 165 so I pulled it out. The results were great! Just the right amount of smoke, rub flavor, and juiciness. Lazy Q is the best for doing poultry.

Nice! Have you tried filling one with mire poix? (chopped celery, onion and carrots). Takes it to a new level!

Tony, yeah, I forgot to mention that part. You can actually see half an apple hanging out, plus I added celery and carrots. Helps with the moisture. 😊

Saw the apple, Bob, but wondered what was behind it!
I'm a big fan of the veggie fill!

Beautiful bird Bob.
None in my freezer yet but I want to 'test drive' a turkey in my #2 before Thanksgiving rolls around. How large a bird would you recommend?

Dave, don't go larger than a 14 lb bird in the smoker. Anything bigger stays in the "danger zone" of 40-140° too long!

Thats bigger than I guessed Tony but I want to stay far away from the 40-140 zone
I think I'll look for something in the 10 lb range just to experiment.

Dave, at 250, a 12-14 lb bird is plenty safe. No need to go too small.

+1 to what Tony said. This one was 13 and change so it was about right.
