Wi-Fi Smoked Spatchcock Turkey
« Reply #-1 on: March 05, 2016, 07:01:43 PM »


Hickory smoked a 14 lb spatchcock turkey yesterday and served it with all the trimmings - mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and of course a green bean casserole! We try to enjoy a turkey every couple of months. Smoked at 180ºF for 2½ hours -> bumped to 325ºF till IT reached 170ºF at the breast (~ 2 more hours). Rested loosely under a foil tent for 20 minutes before carving.



As a tech junkie I really like all the bells and whistles that the MAK Grills Mobile (Wi-Fi module) provides. I can change and set grill temperatures, set-up an unlimited number of cooking programs, set meat probe alerts, receive text or email notification alerts no matter where I am or what I'm doing, graph my smokes/cooks and food temperatures, and even turn off my grill. Best of all it allows me to operate my grill using any device with a web browser.



Note the temperature stability of my MAK 2 Star. Before upgrading to the Wi-Fi module I used the Remote Boss (Bluetooth) for years with wonderful results - but it doesn't have graphing capabilities. The Bluetooth distance limit never came into play around the house.

Nice looking bird, I really should make turkey more often...  I just got the Igrill mini thermometer, I'm gonna do a little review on it, but it also tracks the cook, but it doesn't turn anything on or off :(

Question, what's up with the 0% for the first 20 minutes?  Was that when you were heating up the grill, and maybe didn't have the probe plugged in yet?

Yes the 0% for the first 20 minutes was before I put the turkey in and plugged the probe in. I usually plan about a half hour to preheat and allow my MAK to stabilize. When I'm smoking meat 20 minutes is plenty of time to get to temp.

I got an iGrill when it first came out and it was nice for a remote thermometer with graphing capabilities. One big problem was that I had no control over my MAK but then that's where my Bluetooth Remote Boss came in. But the biggest problem turned out that SWMBO (my bride of 43 years) always wanted her iPad back!!!  :(

Beautiful color on that bird.  Going to use your timing for smoke and than roast for my next bird.
