Good morning ladies and birds and a Happy Blessed Thanksgiving to all. I just put my 15lb. bird in the MES30 set at 250 30 mins ago. Pulled the skin back and rubbed some dry rub on most of the breast meat and some scattered around the legs and thighs. Using apple and cherry wood chips and will smoke for about 3 hours.I cut up some orange and put it in the cavity, not packed full so as to slow the cooking time down much if at all(so I've read on here) Then I'll foil for the remainder of the time. Hopefully serving this bird at about 3-4pm.
