Reply to "Turkey Reports - 2003"

I did a 14# turkey in the smokette. I cut up an apple and onion and put in cavity, then coated the turkey with honey. I then sprinkled with a special "Tex Joy" steak seasoning. I had bought a electronic thermo with 36" probe. I ran the probe through the top vent hole and set the thermo to alarm at 170 in the meatest part of the breast. I injected the turkey with cajun butter galic marinade. Use a large injected needle as you can only inject back through the hole you make with the needle. The wing and legs will take the injection easier
but anyway I let the bird go to 172 before I checked him. It was wonderful, the meat was delicious, tender and juicy. He also cooked to a golden brown with no burnig. I set the cooker at about 230- 235 and everything turned out great. I have no clue how long it took but it was in the neighborhood of 4.5 hours give or take 15 minutes.
