I know I'm tardy for this question, but I'm hoping to avoid the problem next time! We hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and I dry rubbed and injected a 18lb turkey and put on my MAK pellet. My grill temp maxed out at 275 degrees (wanted 325) and after 2.5 hours my dot thermometer was going off. I double checked the breast with a thermopen and it was reading 180 and the thigh was @ 150. I left it on for about 30 longer to get the thigh temp up. When I finally did pull it (and let it rest for 45 min) the breasts were dry and the thighs were undercooked. Could I have been getting false temp readings because of the butter injection? I'm really confused on how this bird turned out
Thoughts?
