I'm planning to smoke turkeys for a fee this coming Thanksgiving. However, I have no clue how to price this service. I guess I could try to figure my cost of materials and determine what my time is worth. I want to give them the option to supply the turkey or I supply the turkey.
Has anyone been down this path before? A lot of people offer to fry turkeys. However, I want to show how juicy and tender a smoked turkey can be.
I'll brine them for about 24 hours and I estimate about 3-4 hours of smoke time per turkey (depending on cook temp). I just purchased a Horizon 16 Smoker. I hope I can do about 2-3 turkeys at a time (9-12 lbs/each).
Any tip, tricks, comments, suggestions, etc.? How about pricing? This will be my first time offering this service and I plan to some test turkeys soon.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
