Not sure if I should post the follow-up here or start another thread. Probably here so that they stay together.
This is a follow-up post for Turkeys 2-4. There is definitely an issue with my PBC (which I will describe below) so I don't know how useful my observations will be.
My PBC lid has been leaking smoke since I got it. I have tried cooking spray, gaskets, bricks, you name it. I just wrote to them today describing the issue and asking them to send me a new lid. Anyhow, as a result of this issue, the PBC just runs hot. In the 370 range. I watched birds 2-4 like a hawk, probing with an instant read every 30 minutes or so in addition to the probes. Each one got better and better - same method, mostly, just pulling earlier. I pulled the 4th one at 155 and it spent a good few hours in the cambro. It was by far the best of the bunch.
Turkey #3 was 18 pounds and cooked in under 3 hours. This is not typical at all, and was kind of stressful. Nevertheless, all of the birds ranged from good to great.
I will report back on what I hear from PBC. I have a cook planned for later this month and hope I will get a resolution or workaround from them.
