So I have a 20 lb turkey in the freezer . . .

Tdimond - What did you think of the end result? It looks fantastic, was it nice and juicy? I’m in the same boat, my sister bought a frozen 22 pounder but then decided she had to have a different brand, so I told her I’d smoke this one some time over the next few weeks. I’ve done a 13 pounder on the PBC using the turkey hanger, but this is a big guy and I’m not quite sure how to handle it. I had also been thinking that halving it would be the best way to go. Did you do any brining? Thanks!

It turned out great! I got rave reviews from the neighbors. I was a little concerned, but the PBC did well with it.

Hey tdimond

Jessterr I've never smoked a bird that large on the PBC, but many people here have.

FWIW, check out this PBC Cook Times... topic for cook times and methods.

Bird that large--I'd inject the breast with melted butter for sure.

I had a good result even without injecting. The PBC really works wonders.

Thanks to all for the advice and the welcome! Awesome info on that PBC Cook Times link Kathryn, it’ll really come in handy, much appreciated.
