Poll: Whole, spatchcocked, split or parted out on T-Day?

[Texas Larry]

Spatchcocked

[crazytown3]

12lb spatchcocked, grilled on the Performer. Trimmed and dry brined last night. Will use S&G rub tomorrow morning. Making gravy tonight with all the trimmed parts.

Deboning and then using the Slow N Sear on the Weber or maybe the Lang ... Thats the only thing im debating. Which one? A grill or a smoker?

I’m splitting a 13 lb. turkey.

Half will be smoked on the Weber with a SnS.

The other half will be oven roasted.

We are smoking two 10lb turkeys. I’m going to remove the bone and wrap in a roll. One will have minimal seasoning the other I’m going to go with heavy pepper and a little BBBR .

I split 2 12# fresh turkeys to be cooked in the PBC.

I suppose I could try, but too late to experiment this year

[HouseHomey]

It depends.

I parted and SVQ'd for this year. Haven't tasted it yet, but after doing it, I'm thinking there is nothing like that whole big bird roasting away and filling the house with that beautiful scent.

Spatched!!!

[radshop]

Got a 20 pounder. I’m splitting it.

Some of you folks like turkey a whole lot more than I do. My wife likes it a lot. Mine is strictly obligatory, and I try to disguise the taste as much as possible.

[Polarbear777]

Seems to me you could smoke it, cambro it then oil it up and fire it hot in the big easy to crisp the skin. That thing can get really hot right?

[Sweaty Paul]

I usually get several months out of the peanut oil. Gets better the more it is used.

Well, was leaning towards spatchcocking - planning on prepping the birds tomorrow morning, but just got informed that dinner at my sister in laws is moved up from 1pm to 12pm. So. 1 hour less to get things done, so I am seriously thinking of parting the turkeys out now, or at least fully splitting them into halves. Split chickens are my favorite way to cook birds over direct charcoal with Grillgrates.

I picked up some B&B lump today, as well as the B&B char logs, thinking of using the char-logs in the offset firebox rather than regular briquettes.
