    Nope. Never used an offset before and have one getting made next April. May as well dive in head first.

    I picked up all the wood off Craigslist last week. It’s sort of a fun hobby. I’m hoping to get some free fruit wood over the next few months.

    I
    Is it an all natural bird or is it frozen in a brine solution? That will play a part in how long you should wet brine.

    Imagine something as silly as wet brining becoming a touchy subject. The only thing more asinine would be someone concerned about grates. :awesomeface:

    The only right way to season grates is to coat them in canola oil then a very generous amount of various Meat Church seasonings, then charring them to form a thick crust that imparts delicious flavor to any food you cook

    Smoking a turkey for second thanksgiving (Friday with in-laws).

    I’ve decided to dry brine and spatchcock. Guidance I am looking for:

    Since I am dry-brining, Is a pan of water to increase moisture necessary? Likewise, is injecting necessary?

    What is the wood of choice?

    With spatchcock, what is everyone’s preference on time/temp?

    I just dry brined and spatchcocked my tday turkey. 42 hours should do it nice.

    No water pan
    No injection
    Fruit wood; I am doing cherry
    250* for about 60-90 minutes
    325* until the breast comes up to 160
    Rest until it drops to around 145

    No further questions

    Best method is to inject/coat your bird in a liquid smoke/Dale's marinade, then drop the frozen bird into the fryer to distribute the smokiness throughout the oil

    Pack the bird full of ice before dropping frozen bird in oil. Helps maintain things.

    good news. Turkey is on.

    Bad news. I can't find the temperature probe for my wireless monitor and the temp gauge on the smoker lid broke long ago. I'm flying blind.

    :beerchug:

    yeah thankfully I have a decent idea of around where it usually nets out and this smoker doesn't ever get too high (even when I try) so should be ok. I just need to keep a closer eye on it. 15 lb bird so last thing I need is for it to Peter out without me knowing

    Cooks way faster and more evenly. Dark meat is not risking overcooking waiting for breast to be done.
