Happy Thanksgiving!
« Reply #-1 on: November 29, 2013, 05:31:01 PM »


Did the official turkey day bird in the PBC, May have started a new tradition!  Great flavor, Moist, skin was good.  Did a dry brine and all savory rub with olive oil. Took about 4 hours for 15lbs with an external temp of 34 degrees.  Everyone raved, it was excellent!

Anybody else?

Sounds like the Meathead method that I used, except I did a wet brine. Think I will give the dry brine a try

Thanks everyone!

Been reviewing my notes from the cook, and have learned a few things...
 
Next time I'm gonna pay more attention to the bird I pick...  This one was an all natural Bell and Evans, beautiful bird.... But her nickname must have been Dolly, cause she was a bit heavy up top...

 ;D


Not that the dark meat suffered too much, but it sure took the white meat longer to come up to temperature than the test butterball I did!  And I don't think it was the external temp as much as the size of the breasts (in case you missed the Dolly joke).

If I get another top heavy bird, think I might halve it like the chickens and hang it, or at the very least spatchcock it.  But at 15lbs for 4 people, a week later, I'm finally done eating turkey for a while!!!  Haha.

Salads, Sammie's, Soup, even Turkey Tetrazinni...  I'm ready for the next cook, something different.

Next up, more pig ribs.  Will try to get more pics...
