I am doing some practicing for the holidays smoking a whole turkey on the PBC (on grate, too nervous to hang - lol) and was wondering if any of you guys have any pro-tips or lessons learned. I am planning on dry brining a non-salted bird and using either Huskees rib rub or MHs Memphis Dust - I tried the S&G rub previously on Cornish hens and did not like it. Other than that I plan on following the AR method for prepping the bird - maybe butterballing, maybe not. Definitely not Cajun or other spice injecting. I plan on using Cherry wood, but since I have had great results with Pecan wood on chicken, I am on the fence there. I will be using lump charcoal with the exception of the 40 briquettes in the mini-chimney to get started.
Anyway - that is the gameplan, but since PBC doesn't have any video instructions on whole turkey I am hoping the PBC experts can help fill in the blanks.
I remember a very detailed post from last year (well, I think I remember - lol) from Ernest (or fxdoc or maybe Jerod) on PBC turkey, but I cannot find it.
Thanks in advance guys!!
