My First Turkey

[SnellySmokesEm]

Today is the day, smoking my first turkey.  First I brined the turkey for 24 hours using a recipe from the recipe site.

I dusted it with Adobo seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and a little salt lick clone.

Now into the smoker for 2 hours of apple.

She's all done and in ftc.  Final IT 165 and 168.  This looks freakin' awesome.  I cant wait to carve this bad boy up!  There was a ton of juices.  I actually moved on of the probes and you should have seen to juice flow then! The cook took just over an hour.  Total time with smoke, 3 hours.

Looks good, real good. What is with the foil on the probe wires? Protection from the heat? How hot does the srg get when turkey cooking?

Nice looking bird! What did it start out weighing? I just ask to know how well it fit in the basket.

I wasn't sure so I made a way to hang my bird in the SRG:
