smoking is about 12-13 pounds. The one he is cooking is around 25-30 pounds. I am anticipating mine will be gone quickly and his will have plenty of leftovers.

How many of you are replacing turkey for a better meat? I know a lot of people

That’s called any random dinner. That’s not Thanksgiving.

Plenty of other days for other food meats.

If you are looking for a better meat, perhaps try cooking your turkey better.

Replacing? No thanksgiving must have turkey. But we are also

If you need a better meat, you need a better bird and/or recipe.

Most people cook and eat bad turkey. A well cooked turkey is fantastic.

Tell me you don't know how to cook turkey without telling me.

Most people cook turkey poorly, and often dry

Not cooking it to 165

This is the key. The second the Turkey hits 160 it has to come off the heat.

That is something to keep in mind.

Spatchcock it first, and then don’t overcook it.

Hard to beat turkey breast brined and smoked to 150 internal. Don't overcook!

Turkey done right is great, Turkey Breasts on the smoker is the only way to go.

I have been smoking our turkey the last couple of years, resulting in a juicier turkey and we also have ham
