Hi All -
I have been a lurker for awhile but figured it was time I start posting some!
Did a trial turkey run on the PBC for a friendsgiving we are hosing on Saturday. It will be the first time I have actually cooked a whole turkey so I wanted to do a trial run to make sure it turned out okay on the PBC.
Results were awesome, it was very juicy and flavorful. It was a smaller bird (11lbs) and it took about 2.5 hours for it to reach 165 in all parts. Dark meat was right at 165 and white was about 170. And of course here is a pic!

Welcome from Southern California and a fellow proud PBC owner!

I am going to have to cook a Turkey in my PBC this year.

Welcome from a NC PBC owner. Great looking bird. I have been debating which "toy" to cook on for Thanksgiving. You just helped me make up my mind.

My wife was very skeptical this thing would turn out and her response was, "wow, I hope you remember exactly what rubs you used and how you did this because it is awesome!"
I had a fresh turkey and rubbed it with olive oil and a mixture of a few rubs I had sitting around. For this weekend I am going to get the turkey on Friday and do the prep work of getting it ready Friday so it can sit overnight with the rub on.

Welcome from SE Georgia! Fantastic looking bird! IF I had a PBC that is what I would be cooking
my turkey on this year. I would get into some big trouble with SWMBO if another cooker shows
up on our patio! ;) BUT, knowing me as some of ya do that hasn't stopped me before! 8)

Like Art, I've been pondering which of my cookers to use for the turkey this year. Think I'll opt for my PBC ;D

Welcome from Alabama, the bird looks good from here

Thanks for all the nice comments. I am excited to start posting more. I did the mod to the PBC where I bought a new grate and cut half of it so I can hang ribs while also finishing a pork butt. That works awesome the last time I did it. I will be posting more pics soon!

Wow, that turkey really does look fantastic! I'm so excited about finally trying this myself, but unfortunately I will have to wait until Christmas since we're traveling during the week of Thanksgiving.

How did you hang it? Looks REAL good! I was going to just do a breast for Thanksgiving, and let my MIL do the whole bird, but this makes me want to do a smaller whole turkey maybe...
-
I hung it just like in the videos on their website. Used four hooks to hang it. I did see on their facebook page they used only two hooks for a smaller turkey.
I just had the party on Saturday and the second one turned out just as good as the first one. This one was 3lbs larger and took about 3.5 hours. Everyone raved about the turkey.
