I will have to try that. Duke's is tangier than Hellman's and most other mayo's.

I am sad that I'm at a point in life where I am on a message board discussing the virtues of different mayos.

Smoking a turkey this year, any recommended recipes? Also do you keep the skin

Spatchcock and copy Malcolm from How to BBQ Right

I did a spatchcocked turkey on Saturday that turned out great

What is the sauce you use for smoking, and what is the rub you use?

Blue for Life

11/22/22 1:57pm

It’s Rodney Scott’s rib rub and Rodney’s sauce

I always look this guy up for smoking tips. He's great.

I'm running with this Gordon Ramsay recipe this year.

Ideally Japanese Mayo

I've never tried Japanese Mayo, what is it like? I'm a Duke's Mayo guy

More tangy. We don’t buy regular Mayo anymore. Buy the one with the red cap on

Interesting. I might have to try that this year.

I use these - turn out great.

Keep the skin on

You doing the whole bird or just the breast? I’ve only smoked the breast. I

How long and what temp do you typically smoke it at?

RockyBalboa

11/22/22 11:38am

For the breast I did it at 275, that was what I saw on the internet.

Blue for Life

11/22/22 1:49pm

How long did it take to get to the internal temp you wanted?

RockyBalboa

11/22/22 2:36pm

Maybe 2.5-3 hours. I think it would be faster if no bones.

11/22/22 4:58pm

I go with 225° and 1/2 hour +/- for every pound. It doesn't take long, so I

Whole turkey for Thursday, we have the Elders and 4 of my son's friends coming.

I'm smoking 2 smaller turkey breasts, much easier than doing a whole turkey

RockyBalboa

11/22/22 11:33am

Do you use a bong or just rolling papers?

CorndogStickshift

11/22/22 12:14pm

It seems odd to remove the skin. I’m following my Alton Brown Turkey triangle strategy

Most bbq places pull their turkey at around 153

whoneedscorners?

11/22/22 11:41am

Yup don’t overcook

Swish

11/22/22 11:54am

Per suggestions on this board, I pulled my test run turkey breast around that temp and it turned out fantastic

dingus79

11/22/22 12:07pm

Overall how long did it take in the smoker to get to 153? 3-4 hours?

RockyBalboa

11/22/22 12:19pm

Good question, the turkey breasts I use are pretty small (3 lbs) so it only takes about 3 hours I believe at 250, but

dingus79

11/22/22 12:53pm

I hear ya. Mine are only 4 lbs each so I was thinking along the same lines.

Spatchcock is the only answer here!!

Any video's of that or recommendations for brine no brine?

Don’t waste your time with wet brine. Not needed. Just season 1 day prior and

Great do you have any suggestions of doing that?

Blue for Life

11/22/22 5:10pm

Google spatchcocking and then take it one step further by cutting the thighs off

Recommend not smoking it. Grill/roast it at 350 on your smoker. It will have

Also takijg the skin off will make the meat way too smoke flavored. Less is more
