I'm making 2 turkeys for Thanksgiving--one roasted in a convection roast oven and the second one smoked in my Pit Barrel Cooker. Both turkeys will be spatchcocked. Hopefully they will be about the same size. (I've ordered them, spatchcocked, from the butcher).
Now here's the rub (pun intended): I figure that one will be done sooner than the other, especially since "done" in a smoker is a bit of a moving target. For a spatchcocked 14 lb turkey I've read smoking times here anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. That's a pretty wide window.
So I'm wondering how to keep one turkey warm without drying it out while the other one finishes up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Kathryn
