Amerique Turkey

Eric -- Everything looks great. Nice color on the bird and skin "looks" crispy. That extra 50˚ on the AQ must really do the trick. I think you're gettig the handle on good BBQ. Good job!

Hi Eric,

The butter soaked chesse cloth also helps the skin a lot.
My family and friends liked the breast meat better then the dark meat.

Thank you,
Brian E.

Ive always like breast better than the dark meat. Curious here I heard the Amerique gets hotter than the 008 and the 050. What is the highest temps you get w/you Amerique? Inquiring minds wanna know. Their online add doesnt mention that.

I just ordered two 050s for my son and his new bride. I also ordered one for my very near in the future son in law and my daughter. If the Amerique reaches temps of much higher than 250 I may have to make some quick phone calls in the early a.m. tomorrow.

Amerique highest setting is 300.
This was my first cook at 300.
Briskets and butts are mostly what I cook @ 225
Wow you are a cool dad what great gifts.

Thank you,
Brian E.

Wow that looks very good!

I just decided I will not be posting the pic of my very delicious and very UGLY Thanksgiving bird.

I need an AmeriQue!

Great job, congrats.

Good looking. Now just don't set it and forget it you need to keep good notes.

One tip for next time, I take a toothpick and try to fold the skin under and tuck it inside the bird cavity to keep it from pulling back.

Hi SmokinOkie,

Thank you for the tips and the 101 Brine and Turkey
This was the second time that I smoked a tukey.
First time was in my Smokete last Thanksgiving
This time Amerique.
Both times tasted awesome.
Family now wants me to do turkey breasts soon.

Thank you,
Brian E.
