Title: Let's talk turkey in the SRG
Post by: amosko on November 23, 2021, 03:45:50 AM: I've seen a few posts here and there but most of the online content for Turkey is in the OTF. I have the SRG with built in smoke box. I've done plenty of chickens quite successfully but I'm wondering what people's methods are for Turkey. Aside from cook time which will vary based on time/local weather, I wondering what temp/lid position to use during which part of the cook. I want to get nice smoke and crisp skin but don't want to overdo either. Feel free to share your tips and tricks

You'll have to sift through them to find it, but I suspect that there'll be a nugget of gold in there.

Good luck.

... or, you could just wait for Tommy (TMB) to weigh in. No one knows more about the SRG than he does. If he doesn't show up voluntarily, send him a message.

Drained and dried this morning and injected with a rum butter sauce (from publix- family loved it last year). Let sit for 1hr. Dried and coated with oil and homemade dry rub. Been cooking at low for 1.5hrs with lid up. Up to 110° now. Will turn to high for last part of cook with lid down to bring to temp and crisp up.

Post by: MJSBBQ on March 27, 2022, 07:08:58 AM: We love the SRG for turkeys. I simply brine overnight, pat dry and season. I do not inject (don't really need to). I put her on just like you pictured. No question this is the easiest and best way to do it. I learned everything I know about this from Tommy!

BTW, I noticed these photos were from 2008. My SRG still functions great, but admit we only do turkeys around the Holidays.
