Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler grilling a turkey for Thanksgiving

I'm going to do the turkey on the grill this year for Thanksgiving. I tried my first one of these back in January, using this weber recipe and it turned out well. I may try this again, but I like to mix it up a bit so am looking for other good recipes. Anyone have a favorite?

I've considered this one as well as a couple of others on the weber page.

I'll be doing this on a gas weber grill using indirect heat.

Looks good! I may have to try that this year. I love cooking rotisserie chicken on my weber summit and have always wanted to try a turkey!

Yummy! Rotisserie is the best cooking method for meat, my favorite. That and braising but that method would not apply with a whole turkey.

The last few years I have smoked my turkey. It is the best way too eat turkey imo. This year I think I'll try a brine of some sorts.

Where the hell do you get rolling papers big enough?

Cheech Marin

How do you achieve good results with the skin without it being flabby and gross with the smoking method?

I discard the skin but those who eat it just turn the temps up the last hour of the cook.

What temp do you set your smoker for a chicken or turkey?

With poultry my target temps are between 275° F and 300°.
