I know this question has been asked many times before but my search in forums hasn't answered the questions I have. I am going to vend at a large pumpkin patch this fall and was asked to vend some turkey legs which I believe would go real good at this venue. My question I have pertains to pre-smoked turkey legs which I am going to use. My questions are as follows, at what temp do I put these into my pit. I am using a FEC100 and how long do they take to heat up. My next question is about sauce, do I sauce then while they are heating up so the sauce somewhat sets up on the leg or do I sauce them after they are finished and just prior to serving them? I plan on putting them in a 2 lb tub for sale so saucing after would not be a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

There's a fella that sells turkey legs annually at the Crawdad Festival in Isleton, CA. It's a large event. He has one hell of an operation and sells 15,000 turkey legs during the 3 day event. Double lines of people buying legs...they fly outa there.

He gets the legs for a buck apiece frozen and sell them for $6...well, 10 years ago. Now, he has trucks, trailers, large freezers, smokers, grills, several employees and supplies. But not bad for 3 very long days of hard work.

Imagine he started small and the thing exploded on him.
Seems like around Disney,they buy frozen about $1.50.Heat cooker to 275º and place in frozen for 3 hrs.Then wrap each in foil and cook to 180º.Squirt of vinegar sauce when you serve.
Around $7.Works great around all the little fairs.Of course,Ribdog and Barbara are usually at the deep fried candy bars. Big Grin

Seems like drbbq gave another approach.Ribdog will know when he checks in.
