What to do for transportation after smoking

Former Member

I will be smoking a turkey tonight for tomorrow's dinner. The problem I have is that once I'm done smoking we have a 2 1/2 hr drive to where we are headed. I know if I FTC it that the skin will get moist and loose its crispness.

What should I do? Smoke it early then put in the refrigerator to reheat once I get up there?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have kept turkey breasts foiled and in a cooler longer than that, and they were still hot enough to burn your fingers when I sliced it to serve.

You are right, the skin won't be crisp, but it's still good.

I am going to pull mine out of the smoker and double wrap in foil and put in a cooler with lots of towels. Some coolers are not well insulated in the lid, so towels can really help. One other thought, is to heat up some bricks, wrap in towels and put on either side of the turkey in the cooler. As far as the skin, maybe butter it up and use a torch. Good luck.

Or butter up and throw into a 450* oven for 10 minutes. Watch it closely. I like the torch idea. A small cooking type torch. Not the acetyline shop type.
