Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro - Thanksgiving Turkey

[@BigLewBBQ]

[Reposted the right way] Turkey is one of my favorite things to cook and eat. Hanging and injected one in a drum smoker is my favorite method to cook one. I loved everything about this video but the hoodie you were wearing. LOL Just call it “Tony’s” Yet it is pronounced “Sha-Shure-Ree's”. It’s Cajun French not Italian.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thank you Big Lew! And if you look at the hoodie long enough you’ll come around 🤣🍻

Really nice cook there Horse......I've seen quite a few rotisserie cooks this year and it's nice to see a bird hanger for a change. Looks amazing.... Nice job and cheers!

[@Bamakettles]

Oh, that cutting board is pretty trick too......

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Great looking bird! That Nature’s Seasoning is good stuff. The OKJ put a nice color on the skin. Looks like it came out wonderful. 👍🏻

[@Chris_Blue]

Nice looking bird!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thanks Chris! 👊

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

That’s a great looking bird Seth! I do like doing an injection and always turns out good when you hang it. Awesome color and skin! That bronco really seems to rock it. Have a great weekend brother and keep on grillin! Little dude wants either the turkey or beer hard to say.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Gracias Charley! And ya I always love hangin on my PBC and now I’m really digging hanging on the BP! And I think he wants the bird but it’s sooo hard to tell lol. Have a great weekend as well sir! 🍻🍻

[@crowtoon]

Any tips on smoking with the smaller Bronco. My food comes out a little to acrid for me after choking it down to lower temps.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Hmmm if you add wood I’d say back off on how much you use. And using lump coal should help with that.

[@chiparmy5498]

Bronco Pro only comes in Orange. He's cooking on a Bronco. As for the acrid taste, let you wood ash down before adding your meat. I've done 18# briskets on my bronco and it will hold at 225 for over 20 hours.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

@@chiparmy5498 that is incorrect. The Bronco pro comes in black and orange. www.oklahomajoes.com/bronco-pro-drum-smoker

[@davesager9253]

Good looking bird nice job

[@StephenWorth]

tuck your wings back so they don't burn. Nice use of a bottle opener. Nice knife too.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thank you Steven! And did I not tuck the legs right?

[@davegale55]

You never showed how you set up your charcoal and where you stared the fire.

[@altonfender5168]

Have you cooked any belly fat for bacon on the Oklahoma Joe Barrel and how did it come out to be

[@MadHorseBBQ]

I have not.

[@owentaylor962]

Love your channel. Did I hear you correctly that the turkey is brined? I have an OJ Bronco and can’t decide if I need to both brine and inject.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thanks Owen! And honestly can’t remember but it’s never a bad idea to brine your bird!

[@michaelcollins487]

Perfect color! Great job. Do you use the smoker's thermometer or are you using a probe on your wireless thermometer for your pit temp?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thanks! And I use a digital thermometer to monitor pit temps. I am currently using the Thermoworks X4

[@CalculatedTrades]

@Mad Horse BBQ ... Looks great! I plan on doing my own next year. I also plan on purchasing the Oklahoma Joe pretty soon as well. For your experience, how accurate is the thermometer that comes with it?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Hey thank you very much! And not very accurate. I’ve never been a guy who trusts the lid or grill thermometer. I always use a digital. But the Bronco pro is an awesome grill and I can about guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

[@CalculatedTrades]

@@MadHorseBBQ Thank you for your reply. I use an Intellitopia digital thermometer with built in probes in another grill that I'm ready to ditch so I just wanted to inquire before replacing the one that comes with the Joe. I plan on getting one of those BBQ tubs as well. Excellent looking product. Thanks again and been enjoying the videos!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

@@CalculatedTrades sounds good! And you will love the prep tub! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🍻🍻

[@tonyg.3696]

So did the baffle plate make a difference? I own the Bronco Pro but I’ve never used it, just let it drip on the coals.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Hard to say but I’d lean towards it tasting about the same.

[@tonyg.3696]

@@MadHorseBBQ cool. Im a new subscriber. I like how you use both pit barrel & okj bronco. I have a wsm & the okj Bronco Pro, but I run both like a pbc. I feel both give you a little more versatility than the pbc (like closing the vents after cooking to save your coals).

[@MadHorseBBQ]

@@tonyg.3696 yep exactly!! And I also have a custom made UDS and a 22” WSM. Thanks for subbing!

[@tonyg.3696]

Also: I’ve been using the Pit Barrel turkey hanger in my Bronco Pro, so it hangs breast down. I noticed your turkey hanger has the breasts up. Do you think that makes a difference?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Again I’m not positive but my thought was to protect the white meat and attempt for it not to dry out.

[@tonyg.3696]

@@MadHorseBBQ cool thanks man.

[@Woody0036]

That looks like an awesome bird, fella!!! TRUMP 2020🍻
