PIC - Turkey in a Smokette?

I have a cs020 but haven't done turkey,yet. I would think you could get a big turkey in it. I know"redoakNC" just posted in holiday turkey forum about one he did in his 020. You might check that forum most members tell what they are smoking on.Hope this helps!!!

Check the turkey reports in the Turkey Forum; looks like some folks have smoked turkeys up to 21# on an 020.

I did the Thanksgiving Turkey in my 009.

Looks good.

The new smokette 020,025 have more space. I believe 2" longer and 2" wider. It is easy to see that there is more than enough room for turkeys,whole packer briskets,whole slab ribs,and the best customer service that you may ever fine!!!

Thanks for the photo how big was it?

It was a Rock Cornish Hen.

Can you give the time and temp you used on that bird? I've done a bunch of birds in my 055 but the skin always turns out crappy. I'm not talking rubbery, I'm saying that the skin breaks apart and mostly falls off which leaves half skin and half turkey meat. Sure doesn't look appealing but the taste is always good.

Try and put a butter soaked cheese cloth ovr your bird. It will help the color and drying of the skin.

I brined the 10lb turkey for 24 hours. Cooked at 250 for 3.5 hours until temp read 170 in breast. I used 2.5 oz of apple. I never eat the skin so I skinned it before slicing it.

Brine recipe was the one cookshack posted on facebook!

Yup... I think I tried that one year and it didn't help much. Will try it again.
