I'm smoking a 10b small turkey this year. Bringing it as a surprise to my sons house.
This will be my 1st whole Turkey in the model 3, have previously used a conventional smoker.
Using Hickory & going for a heavy smoke.
Returning to report on the Thanksgiving Turkey prior to smoking a 10b Boston Butt & then Christmas Day a double smoke 10b Shank Ham.
Normal brining for the Turkey then injected heavy with my home made Cajun seasoning made from peppers, onion, garlic which I garden grow dehydrate & grinding to a fine powder adding Paprika.
Followed the instructions given in the Smoking Guide on the Forum, used a water drip pan filled with 10oz warm beer.
Pulled the bird at 165* & double foil wrapped placed in a baking pan & wrapped in a towel. Put it in the trunk of my Harley Ultra Classic & rode 45 minutes to my son's house. His In-Laws were there in full force.
It was a large potluck gathering & this smoked turkey was in direct competition with a fried turkey & a brisket.
Want y'all to know - I was expecting & hoping to bring back enough to make smoked turkey salad sandwiches the next day but this bird was the hit of the parade. 2 guys went back 4 times each for more. It came out so moist it was almost unbelievable. There was nothing left over & by nothing I think they gnawed on the bones.
Love this smoker.
