Trying a wild turkey today. Skin and left bone in the separated breast. Place drum sticks and thighs next to it.
Brined over night, coated with canola oil and rubbed in lemon pepper corn. Using about 3 ounces apple and 2 ounces cherry. Set the Auber for 225F cooking temp and 162 inside temp.

I can't wait to hear the results . I'm thinking about smoking a wild turkey too..

My neighbor just did one in his BGE and he said it was the best.

Nice bird, Dale! Bet it will taste great!

Way to go Dale on a great harvest and a great looking smoke. How did it taste?

Turkey turned out great, the breast and thighs were the best, incredibly moist and tasty. Drumsticks and wings not so good. I de-boned the wings and drums and my wife made an incredible, smoked turkey stew--really, really good.

I did my wild turkey last fall. I plucked it and smoked it whole but had the same results. Breast and thighs were fantastic but legs and wings were really tough.

Use them for stew with some pieces of thigh--man it was good that way. Pain to debone the legs, but worth it. Can't wait to smoke another...
