Saw Turkeys on sale this week so decided to have a pre-game for thanksgiving
This day included lots of drinking.
Brine for 2 days in Bourbon and apple juice. Smoke for 3 hours a 200ºF, then finished off at 300 till I hit 170ºF. Smoked a Green Mountain Grill with Maple

Got a time estimate to hit 170* after the 3 hour initial smoke? I'm thinking about smoking a turkey this year.
How big of bird and how long? I'll be doing a 15 lb practice run next weekend on my GMG.
That looks yummy but I think I'll just stick to deep frying my turkeys.
I cooked my over 20lb bird in the Traeger last year. I just set the temp like the oven and popped the bird in and closed the lid. Came out perfectly based on the minutes per lb on the wrapper.
BEER BRINED TURKEY

I had rave reviews and it was soooo easy. I used apple wood pellets.
about 12lbs I would say about 8 hours of total smoke timeQuote:
