Flat out great Turkey!
« Reply #-1 on: November 23, 2012, 08:22:19 PM »
Started with a 14lb Butterball Turkey that has already been brined with a 8% solution...



Out of the package. Neck was removed from the cavity. Giblets found in a vac sealed bag and even included gravy. Gotta love butterball...



Spatchcocked and liberally coated on both sides with Instant Gourmet Original...



Sprayed with canola oil and into the fridge for a couple hours to air dry...



Onto the Memphis loaded with cherry pellets @ 180F for 30 minutes...



iGrill graph of the entire cook...



Pulled off at 160F IT...





And separated...









It was great! Moist and juicy! Instant Gourmet adds a great flavor to anything ;)

It comes with two meat probes so I used one of them for a grill temp probe. I have a metal v-clip to mount the probe just above the grill. Seemed to get an accurate reading. Not sure if they have a pit probe available.

There is a pit probe available for the iGrill. A meat probe through a ball of foil works well too.
