Got up a 3 Thanksgiving morning and preheated the smoker to 275. Turkey went in at 3:45. Hit 140 before 7:30 and I turned the temp down to 230. Turkey hit 165... -

first turkey question
I am in a similar situation. I have a 23lb bird I am going to do this year. I have an MES30. I have been fretting about the best way to do it. With some help from the other members here I have come up with a plan. I plan on Spatchcocking the bird (cutting in half completely if it wont fit...)... -

Large Turkey Strategy
I ask for forgiveness in advance for a disjointed rambling post. My in-laws gave me a turkey to prepare for thanksgiving dinner this year. Its a big one, 23 lbs.

Fatties for Work BBQ
Wanted to let everyone know that the fatties were a huge hit. Ended up going with 3 different fatties. After I made the first 2 I realized that 4 would be way too many. When I got into work this morning, someone had already finished off the leftovers. Will post pics and more details later... -

Fatties for Work BBQ
I am going to attempt smoking some fatties for a work BBQ later on this week. Can anyone recommend how many 1lb fatties for 10 people? I was thinking 3 or 4, so as to get some different varieties. Thanks for the help and will let everyone know how it goes.
