I fry in a regular old pot. I guess I could have gotten a newer one with the spigot at the bottom, but I like my old setup. I don't mind frying 2 or more turkeys, but to do just 1 twelve pounder is kind of a pain, with 2 boxes of oil that I only use once a year. I love fried turkey and I like that it frees up the oven to cook all the other stuff, but I think it was time for a change.
I might fry again next year, but will see if some neighbors want to bring down a bird also. I had a friend out in Piru that had a 6' deep pit that we would wrap turkeys in foil, place in tubs and lower into the pit of burning lemon wood. Place a steel plate and cover with dirt. Show back up in the morning and you had some MOIST turkey that fell off the bone. We would have 20-30 turkeys, pork butt and ham in there. Good times.

First time to BBQ / Smoke a turkey... Basically, cut the turkey down the back bone like I would do my frisbee chicken...
![]() Then inject the turkey with a seasoned brine, rub with dry rub and place on grill... ![]() About an hour into cooking... ![]() About 2 hrs into cooking...

And all finished up about 3 hrs later(put the bird on at about 9:20am)...
![]() (Note: this was a 12 pound bird and I kept my grill on the top end of heat...) I should have taken the bird off at 12pm (2 1/2) hrs, Not that the bird dried out too much, but it would of been optimum if I would have taken it off 30mins earlier... oh well, back to the Makers Mark lol, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I did a boned, stuffed, and rolled breast this year. It came out great.

Craigster- Sound's delicious but quite a bit of work. Getting under the skin seem's tricky without tearing. How many pound bird for the cooking time noted?
I'd like to try Turducken: Turducken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
