Look at this thing. It's the color of a pretzel. It was juicy and tender and perfect.
Mine was identical. What temp did you cook to? Did you brine it?

JonM said:I pulled it at about 170 in the dark meat and just under 160 in the white meat. It was on a little longer than I intended, but it didn't dry out at all. I didn't brine because I waited too long to get a fresh, non-pre-based turkey and had to use a Butterball with their pre-injected solution in it, but overall it was really good.
My ROT is 30 mins/pound at 225, I put 2 12 pounders on at 6 AM Tuesday and they were done when I got home for lunch at 1:00 PM. 165F in the thick part of the breast, I wrapped them real well in foil and let them sit on the counter for a couple of hours before I stuck them in the fridge.Rule of thumb is 30-40 min per pound at 240 to 300 deg. Put two 8-lb birds in about 1 hour ago and expect to hit 165-ish mid-afternoon. We'll see!
JoeyChopps said:Here's the turkey I did today. It's a Cajun smoked turkey I used apple wood it was 12 pounds and it took 4-1/2 hours at 200 on my electric smoker ( I know electric smokers are cheating but I don't give a **** if its cheating it turned out awesome)
It didn't suck at all...
Roasted some fingerling potatoes in the cherry-smoked duck fat with some rosemary and thyme outta the garden. Tossed in sme shredded duck and some homemade pancetta. Then tossed an egg from the coop, over-med, on top.
Finally connected with one of wife's uncles and got the family recipe for smoked German sausage. Pretty basic pork and beef sausage smoked over apple wood. Gonna give it shot this weekend.
The glorious Christmas day turkey. Brined for 36 hours, Cajun seasoned and smoked over apple, cherry and mesquite wood.
Pit roasted a suckling pig for Christmas dinner. A first for me. Turned out great.

I'll be throwing a pork butt in the smoker shortly to make some pulled pork chilli this evening!
