How to smoke a turkey on the weber kettle.

Smoke a Spatchcock Turkey on the weber kettle is as easy as it gets. Less than 2 hours to this big juicy delicious bird.

Hi Kunchi: About how many UNLIT briquettes to you add to the kettle before adding the 1/3 chimney of lit briquettes? Also, do you think I could cook a 19 pound turkey using this method? In other words, will it be too large and get too close to the fire? Thanks, Alan Loe

About 18-20 unlit

I think it might be close but you should be able to get it

@@CookinWidKunchi Hey: Thanks a bunch. I am going to try this out next summer, for a June Thanksgiving. Alan

Hey: Again - thanks so much for the advice. I can't wait to try it. We will be heading to Florida on December 30 and I will get in touch with your sometime after our arrival. Alan

What? 1 hour and 45 mins for a 15lb turkey?

[@CookinWidKunchi]

Absolutely.... Spatchcock is way faster than traditional

@@CookinWidKunchi Ahh Ok, I have never smoked a spatchcoked Turkey. I think I am going to try it this Thanksgiving. Love your work!

Excuse me. Mr. president I have a question😂. What setting did you keep your vents and what temp did you shoot for to maintain. Also would this work with B&B lump. I’m not sure if I want to go post oak lump. For wood deciding on pecan, apple or cherry. Your guidance would be much appreciated. You are def the BBQ President.

@@saint5181 vents set to wide open top and bottom. Yes it would work with the lump as long as you get good size chunks. I'm generally looking for 350-375. If you want to go a bit lower Temps, bring the bottom vents down a little bit.
