My favorite part of Thanksgiving! Wish I could take credit for this one, but it’s my dad’s handiwork:

I’d love a BGE, but run a 4 burner gas grill instead. I usually have the house to myself and don’t want to invest the time, effort, and resources for charcoal when I’m just feeding myself. For camping I have the ubiquitous Coleman propane stove, as well as a single burner butane which I use with a kettle to boil water for coffee.

I love seeing what you guys are up to. It may give me the upgrade itch…

I haven’t had luck with turkey for some reason from a Kamado. A bit dry when I tried. Although, I only tried once. Haven’t quite figured it out. Maybe go spatchcocked. The resultant gravy, however, was to die for. Best ever.

I’ve found that with turkey, low and slow is how to go… I did thanksgiving 18lb at 225f for 7.5-8hrs… started it at 4am to be done by 1ish…

After the first 3 hours, I was basting with chicken broth mixed with melted butter every 45mins to an hour…

Also, I found that a real good overnight brine helps lock in juiciness… I did mine with sea salt, water, halved and squeezed oranges and lemons with some pepper and other odd seasonings…

Ok, interesting. I can’t quite remember the temps that we ran but I seem to recall running similar to what we would typically do in the oven. Probably around ~300. I’ll give the low and slow a try net time around. Thanks.

We do wet brine turkeys and dry brine for most everything else.

We go 225 for 20 minutes a pound.
Brine will help it from being dry and bland.
We dont brine at the restaurant but I put a lot of melted butter on them. The butter helps.
We do hundreds for Thanksgiving
