Looks great.  Just a couple of months before I go my yearly turkey binge.  I think I did about a dozen last year between Halloween and New Year.

That one was 12#s and I left it on 3 hours. It probably only needed 2 1/2 though. A little dry on the breast but still delicious

That sure looks good....wonder if foiling it would help on the breast being a little dry ? Thanks for posting...been wanting to try a breast.

A helpful hint on the dry turkey breast: put some ice in a couple of sandwich bags and rest them over the breasts while your coals are heating up. This will help them not reach finished temp while the dark meat is lagging behind................

DARN! That looks terrific. All my previous attempts at turkey have been abject failures, to do, I suspect, with operator error. Looking at your effort has convinced me to try again. Plus, the idea of "chilling" the breast before hanging seems worth a try as well.

No, it was completely on me. Breast and legs were both 185 when I took it off. The previous 2 I cooked I took them off at 160  and the turkey was perfect. I noticed it cooks pretty uniform with the temperature
