Here's a brisket from the Pit Barrel Cooker.

 

This cooker gets my vote and should be on everyone's list. It's now $350, and can cook for hours and hours with 40-60 pieces of coal. It's American made by veterans and is very high quality. The results have always been amazing. 

 

Making my hungry on this Friday morning. 🍖

Tonight was chicken wings in the Meco grill. Another made in the USA item.

Any of you experienced smokers have a good recipe / instructions for smoking a large turkey ?

[Receiver2000 1,781]

Hey B- my daughter went to Cordon Bleu cooking school before nutrition and diatetics school and her thing is spatchcocking a turkey where you split the mofo, remove the backbone and flatten it. Seems to take less time and turns out fantastic. She uses some Food Network brine recipe but lowers the salt somewhat and replaces it with more herbs. We have rotised a turkey on my DCS BBQ for decades and try different brines. A brine that stood out one year had orange juice and was herbed quite heavily. Usually use fruit wood for the smoke. We have has some incredible Thanksgivings although I can eat smoked turkey any time.

I have done that same thing with a chicken, taking the backbone out and laying it flat. But I just cooked it in the oven. Definitely took less time.

Personally I dont care for the spatchocked thing. It looks like flattened roadkill to me but it sure is good and cooks more evenly I guess. I like the look of the whole bird on the rotis with the smoke bellowing.

I tried one similar to this and was impressed.   I even opted to put some sliced pineapple in it.  I also forgot to mention but I put a aluminum dripping pan on a few racks under the bird  with a couple of inch's of apple juice in it.  3 or 4 times during smoking cooking process I baste the bird with the apple juice.  I also inject the brine into the breasts and thighs. then soak it in a 3 or 5 gallon pail with the brine solution in it.

The first thing I read this morning is this? I'm hungry already. 🍖

[Rob 3,480]

And I do have a turkey in the freezer. 

[Receiver2000 1,781]

Ha. And I thought that all that you guys inventoried was Carver parts.

[Rob 3,480]

I'm gaining weight, just reading this thread!  

[Rob 3,480]

@Brian_at_HHH I am seriously trying to maintain the same weight I was at before we were laid off. 😂

I was able to do that, but I sure miss my left leg.  

[Receiver2000 1,781]

Yeah, seems like since work is a bit slow, I do yardwork, sit around checking out the Carversite wondering if I should upgrade while listening to the cool music suggestions that you all make and do some serious recreational eating especially BBQ inspirations from my friends at The Smokehouse. Oh and maybe have an occasional spot-o-whiskey.  I might need to cut myself off from The Smokehouse.

[Receiver2000 1,781]

The main problem is that I'm turning into  a Carvernivore.

[RodH 4,802]

So you were a vegecontrarian until you came here?

[Receiver2000 1,781]

Nah. Always been a carnivore. But I am a bit of a contrarian. I'm still thinking about that photos of that brisket from a few posts back. I need to think about something else.

[RodH 4,802]

Ribs?

[Rob 3,480]

@Receiver2000 Good morning to you. How does the brisket look? 😁

 

[Receiver2000 1,781]

Whoa. Carver-nivore heaven!!!

That is too pretty to even eat.

But I would eat it if presented.  Just to be polite. I am going out today to score a slab of bovine flesh and get my rig set up.
