2. Turkey Size - 7.5 lb Breast
3. Preps - Brined for 10 hrs in Smokin Okies Holiday Brine. Put Butter/rub mixture (CS Spicy chicken rub) under the skin.
4. Smoker temp - 300 preheated using 3.5 oz apple.
5. Total Time - 1 hr 45 min was at 160. I opened smoker and placed probes in different parts. Found a colder spot of 156 so I shut door and let it go another 45 min. So the total time was 2.5 hrs
6. Comments
Was a bit dry. I probably should have removed it at 1 hr 45 min. Skin was rubbery, next time I will try the cheesecloth method. The smoke flavor does penetrate to the bone. I was surprised. Might even back off to 2 oz next time. Also will try a different rub next time. A little too spicy. Overall the turkey was very good. Better than my families oven cooked bird which was more dry and way less flavor than mine.
