Smoked Turkey For Thanksgiving Using My Foolproof Method

[@rexpresto]

I am drooling as I watch this. How long was the cook time? (Apologies if I missed that-I was hypnotized by the bird itself)… Any advice for doing this on a Weber kettle grill…Or, even in the oven? I know the oven method wouldn’t allow for a smoker option…

[@CookingWithRy]

Approximately 4 hours. Oven method you could use same temps, or even go higher to shorten the cook time. Say 350 F 😊

[@rexpresto]

@ Thanks! I have a 16-lb. bird. Probably 3 hrs at 350° in the oven, I think

[@marklazarus2584]

This is GENIUS. I almost always break down my turkey after I smoke it. Now I can easily break doing that turkey before I smoke. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner.

[@Picit-13]

Ry just changed my mind this year!!

[@DaymonQualls]

Never considered breaking the turkey down for even cooking. Great idea! Nicely done, Ry!

[@Terreos]

I started brining my turkeys about 2 years ago. And that alone makes them so much better. If you're not then you owe it to yourself to start.

Best bird I’ve seen across the KZbin bbq’ing sites this season! Solid tips, great video Ry!

[@KHtally]

Thank you brother! I was just starting to do this same thing and noticed our video. Gave me some great tips and confidence!

[@Picit-13]

was planning on a smoked spachtcock this year but this just seems to make more sense!! Thanks!!

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

Awesome looking Turkey Ry. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. Cheers brother.

[@chriseh09]

Great Job!!! Have a great Thanksgiving!!

[@pvanderwall3473]

Excellent idea!! I'm planning to do this again this Thanksgiving on the smoker, with the same brine method. . As a matter of fact my turkey is in the brine right now. 😊

[@waynec3121]

That is a beautiful bird Thank You Ry

[@livefree9852]

Cheers, Ry, and happy thanksgiving!!!✌️

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A perfectly done turkey. It looks excellent. Cheers, Ry! 👍👍✌️

[@Picit-13]

Mine is in the brine Ry!! Excited to try this!! I went with cherry wood to keep it a little more mellow. What do you think about injection with a brine? Too much?

[@CookingWithRy]

I don’t find that necessary but why not give it a try? 😊

[@Picit-13]

@@CookingWithRy yeah I don't need to spend the extra time if not needed!! lol Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanks for the last minute answers I appreciate you!!

[@rabbitholehobbyist]

I noticed your lone star grillz and wanted to ask what size you got? I ordered one recently and am now thinking I should have ordered the next size up.

[@CookingWithRy]

It’s the 20x42 😊

[@rabbitholehobbyist]

@@CookingWithRy Thanks Buddy!

[@kenneth6663]

Thank you for the awesome video! Definitely trying this method this year. Do you think a broken down 19 pound Turkey would be too big?

[@CookingWithRy]

I’ve done a 20 pounder this way 👍

[@kenneth6663]

@@CookingWithRy so exciting to hear that friend! Will let you know how it turns out afterwards. Once again thank you for this genius method😀

[@dannykapz]

Can this be done on a Weber kettle without any fancy charcoal separation accessories?

[@CookingWithRy]

Yes. Just create an indirect zone and aim for a similar cooking temp 👍

[@1upluigi114]

Where did you get the brine bucket...I been looking for something like that and did this you use a lid

[@CookingWithRy]

I can’t recall where I got that. I think Amazon might have similar large containers. And I did use the lid.

[@Smoke_N_EmbersBBQ]

@CookingWithRy great looking turkey Ry. Tuesday I'm releasing a crispy turkey wing video.

[@aliceburte9278]

Yum❤

[@bjweaver3333]

What was your total cooking time at 275?

[@CookingWithRy]

Roughly 4 hours.

[@bobburton1089]

You never said what your total cook time was

[@CookingWithRy]

I don’t go by time when I’m aiming for a target temp.
