Larry Wolfe said:Trying something different with these turkeys, I'll let ya'll know in a little while. Not sure how long they will take on LuLu, Bill. I'm thinking around 4 hours at 250*.
Kloset I got my eggs for breakfast underneath the turkeys!! I'm gonna make rare hamburgers with mixed in turkey giblets later. :ack: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Jeff E said:Those turkeys look great Larry. Were the birds enhanced or natural?
I have smoked Butterball (enhanced) turkeys before with good results. I haven't tried a natural one + brining yet. That's still on my list of things to do.
txpgapro said:Good job Larry! They'd even look better on Yahoo or Kodak, anything but ephotohut! :!: Next time try injecting with apple juice concentrate, and stuff with apples! BTW, still not to late for Qfest!

Thanks again,
Larry, in a situation like that, where you have to pull meat at different times, how long does your pit take to get back to temp?Larry Wolfe said:Woodman, one bird took right at about 4.5 hours, the other took about 5 hours. The pit temps were right around 250* for the entire cook, give or take 10* degrees. I pulled them both when the breast was at 163*. Both birds thighs were over 180*.
LMAO!! EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas!! :grin: :grin:Larry Wolfe said:zilla said:Thanks for posting the cook times Larry.

Zilla, did I read that correctly??? "I have never smoked a turkey less than 40lbs"??? If so where in the heck do you buy your turkeys?

Well, it's a good thing that them there Texas Turkeys are so big they won't fit on the top shelf of Larry's pit! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: OK, no more jokes from the Joker... 8-[zilla said:Funny giant turkey story,
A women took one of these giant birds and popped it in her oven for an overnight cook. Woke up in the morning to about a half a gallon of turkey fat and juice leaking out of her oven all over the kitchen floor. These things produce a crazy amount of liquid while cooking. :grin:
