Turkey on the AQ....

Former Member

Hey all! Want to test run a turkey prior to The Day. Found a 10.1 organic (only thing I could find without solution already added). I'm planning on SO's Holiday Brine for a day and a half or so. Going to cook on the AQ. Went through the old reports and didn't see any mention of which rack to use. You guys using lower, middle, or upper racks for these yard birds? I assume to cook at 300? Breast up or breast down? Bring recs!!

Well. Since no one has responded, I'll chime in. I only have a little ole Elite, but I'd smoke it at 275* or 300* in the middle shelf. I've done quite a few birds, all breast side up. Some recommend breast side down to achieve a little self basting, but with brining there is no need. You'll have the most moist, flavorful bird you've ever eaten. Smokin's my hero.
