WOW Lou! The turkey came out golden brown using the Green Mountain Grill. I can only imagine turning it into a turkey salad with some toast. GREAT JOB!

[@RVHabit]

Hi Tim, It came out way better than I expected for my first try at turkey. Sandwiches the next day were amazing.

[@timrover]

NICE!!!!!!

[@bookooc5605]

Love your dog and his ears that cross lol

[@RVHabit]

Hi thanks so much. His name is Luca Brasi and he is a character.

[@RVEnthusiast]

Hi Lou, Turkey looks great. Makes me sleepy, every time I eat it. Love that nap time.

[@RVHabit]

Hi Bruce, it put me to sleep in under 30 minutes. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

That turkey looked amazing! If i can fit the turkey I bought for Thanksgiving on my smoker, I am going to try your recipe. I am not sure the one I bought will fit though.

[@RVHabit]

Yes I think anything larger than 12 lbs would be a tough fit unless it was spatchcocked. It really did come out well above my expectations. I figured the first one I did would be a disaster lol. Definitely worth trying. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and your family.

[@entity1263]

Looks great! Might have sold me on the portable davy. For the price it looks like it cant be beat with wifi and all

[@RVHabit]

It is a great size for most things I smoke. The size also lets me move it around at will. I have no complaints in the past year.

[@hardtruth2039]

Beautiful bird! I am looking at the available portable pellet grills to carry in our future RV. I own a Rec Tec Stampede and love it. I’ve narrowed it down to the Rec Tec Mini and the GMG Davy Crockett.

[@RVHabit]

I have been super happy with this GMG. Works like a charm.

[@ellamaeyockey]

This looks wonderful!!! But I Grabbed a pre brined by accident….. just skip the kosher salt??

[@RVHabit]

I have never heard of prebrined turkey. I would not attempt to brine it again.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Yum, smoked turkey 😁

[@RVHabit]

It was delicious.

[@lukef3699]

I loved that you used a $70 bourbon.

[@lukef3699]

Oh yeah, That Turkey looks amazing!

[@RVHabit]

That's how we roll lol

[@mikebronc2902]

Hey big dog, you need to get that thermal blanket screwed into the handles. Good video BTW

[@RVHabit]

Hi yes I have the blanket attached now. I keep it on all the time. Thanks for watching.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Great Job Lou, now we are hungry! That turkey looked great and extremely juicy. We have never smoked any meat, looks like an interesting and tasty way to cook them though. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 😃🍗

[@RVHabit]

Been smoking food for about a year now. An amazing way to cook. Turkey was great. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@jeremyhellman8111]

I was going to smoke a turkey on the same grill in a couple days, how much bigger of a turkey would fit inside? Is ten lbs the max you'd recommend?

[@RVHabit]

I would say about 10 lbs is the max. A little bigger will fit but its tough to get in and out.

[@jeremyhellman8111]

@@RVHabit perfect thanks!!!

[@YouknowmeOUdo]

Why did you not use the meat probe that comes with the grill?

[@RVHabit]

Actually a great question. The smoker was still new to me and I forgot I could use the smoker temperature probe. I do use it all the time now.

[@DesignoSLK]

This will be my first turkey smoke. I have the updated iteration of the Davy Crockett; Trek Prime. Question: What pellets did you use?

[@RVHabit]

Hi, I generally use whatever pellets I can find available. I like most brands. I personally don't use Traeger pellets. I find I don't get as much smoke flavor. As to type of wood, I love the mixed fruit blend woods but use what ever your personal taste prefers.

[@RickyPrevatteMassage]

@@RVHabit this is my third or fourth year with a Davy Crockett. I had to love the mixed pellets and I don’t use Traeger. Green Mountain has some really nice pellets. The best I found were at Costco in a nice Ziploc bag.

[@medford2]

Great video, thank you, but wouldn't it have been easier to brine the turkey in a plastic bucket?

[@RVHabit]

Yes it would if I had one that would fit the turkey but I didn't. Might have to look for a food grade bucket for my next turkey. Thanks for watching.

[@medford2]

@@RVHabit After I posted that, it occurred to me a bucket may not fit in your fridge. Again, great video

[@Mark2448]

Thermal blanket still holding up? Seem worth getting?

[@RVHabit]

Hi Mark, Yes the thermal blanket is very good quality. I use it all year long.

[@Mark2448]

@@RVHabit Thanks for the quick reply! I’m actually looking to buy a DC and some accessories. I’ve been stewing on it for weeks and am about ready to pull the trigger. Just had to convince myself it was the right grill for me and the family and your video has certainly helped do that. Thanks!

[@RVHabit]

I love my GMG grill. perfect size for me and it continues to work flawlessly.

[@brandtsnakenberg7327]

What brand pellets and wood did you use?

[@RVHabit]

Hi I use GMG brand pellets. For most cooks I use the fruitwood blend.

[@TheNiuhuskies09]

Is that noise the smoker?

[@RVHabit]

Yes that is the auger that is feeding the pellets and the fan that keeps the pellets smoking. It sounds much louder on the video due to the microphones.

[@donelrod7875]

What wood pellets did you use?

[@RVHabit]

Hi Don, I used Green Mountain Grill brand Fruitwood blend.

[@donelrod7875]

@@RVHabit Thanks... I got my Davy Crockett this week. My first smoke is going to be your turkey smoke for Christmas.

[@royjmcc7]

How did you do the gravy?

[@trevorstclair-wh8st]

What rack is that?

[@RVHabit]

Hi Trevor, That was just an old pan rack I have had for years. It just happens to fit.

[@trevorstclair-wh8st]

@@RVHabit oh ok. I just got a Davy Crockett and want to try your recipe exactly. Looks really good

[@RVHabit]

Awesome. Good luck.
