Turkey time
It is officially November, which means thanks giving is right around the corner. every year, my good buddies and I have our own seperate thanks giving on the saturday after. I have always been in charge of the turkey cooking. this year, i am looking for a new/unique way to cook it. in the past i have done the oven, then moved to the BBQ, and for the past couple years, i have deepfried it. All very good ways to cook it. This year, i want to do it a different way but dont really know what to do. you all have any ideas or suggestions? theres got to be hundreds of ways to cook the thing so lets hear some!

Re: Turkey time
Brined and Smoked is good! My buddy does a smoked cajun injected turkey on his smoker (big green egg) and everyone always goes nuts over it.
I think the wood fired oven turkey is out for me too (at least for Thanksgiving)

the top joints over the middle were only done to keep the cell fills from leaking out. Those blocks were notched on the bottom and epoxied to 2" angle iron front and back. Not concerned with cleaning joints since the whole thing will hav a scratch coat and stucco when its finished.

Re: Turkey time
Brining makes a huge difference in the taste. I brine chicken overnight before BBQing in my Baby George rotisserie and it's delicious. Too bad they don't make rotisseries large enough to BBQ a turkey in.

Re: Turkey time
I also vote for smoking , that would be awesome. We've been doing ours in a slow cooker the last few years. Comes out really nice.

We have a neighbors dog that always comes on over when we cook or eat outside. He usually swipes something when we are not looking. this outdoor cooker setup may make him go nuts by not being able to even get near the thing.
Rather than the aluminum foiled shaft, I got a stainless 2" pipe that would do the trick. Now, to find a good clean drum.
Thanks for the neat link!
