Indeed it is. I'm really looking forward to trying my first one on the PBC come Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.  I am going to try and get a better quality turkey next time.  I think that will make a big difference.  It was a experience trying to hook and unhook that thing.  I have some cheap welding gloves I use just for the PBC stuff.  One thing to look out for that I forgot to mention.  Hot juice hangs out in the neck and main cavities.  So use caution when pulling it out.

Is a turkey too long to hang like a chicken in the PBC?

It might be, I was thinking about that.  I think it would be good butterflied.  You might have to double hook each side, like you do a brisket.

I've enjoyed following this thread.  Think I'll get a turkey and do some experimenting with injecting it with a couple of different "flavorings" to see how it turns out in the PBC.

I'm now itching to experiment.
I bet one could use 4 hooks and hang it like a chicken. A medium sized turkey cant be longer than STL ribs, can it?

Great looking bird.
I always say I'm going to cook a turkey some time during the year that is not Thanksgiving, but I always forget. This should get me motivated.

I was thinking the same thing, until I looked at the price of turkeys yesterday.  ??? I think I can wait until Thanksgiving and then stock up on a few when the stores are practically giving them away.
