A newbie looking for help. Purchased a 6 Lb. turkey breast (with wings and ribs) and want to do it on the PBC. Does anyone have an estimate on the cooking time for a 6 Lb. breast? I have one of the new turkey hangers coming FedEx and plan on using it. Any suggestions/estimates would be appreciated!

I just did a 7 pounder over the weekend on the pellet pooper at 325 degrees and it took right at 3 hours. Not sure if that translates to the PBC. Good luck and post some pics!

Heck, stick a probe in it and run it through the re-bar hole and let it rip.

Would love to, just stick a probe and wait for the beeper to go off... But my better half has a few items that she would like to be done in the same time frame...
-
The PBC cooks in the 300 degree range here is the times for 325 7 to 8 pounds 2¼ to 3¼ hours
hope this helps

I always error on the longer side of things too. Nothing wrong with wrapping the meat and holding in the microwave, small cooler, or warmed oven until everything else is ready too.

2 1/2 to 3 hours will be fine. :)

Don't worry so much about the time as the temp. Time varies based on ventilation, elevation, coals, and a variety of other factors. I would say start checking it at 2 hours and make sure you get the breast up to 160 degrees and the leg to 180 or so. It may be a bit red inside (pinkish) and that's okay. It means the bird is not OVERDONE. Which is a common mistake with cooking turkey and chicken. Buy a nice ThermaPen ($68 on their site) so that you know your readings are accurate.
