As promised, evidence of yesterday's efforts.
Before:
After:
A small-ish Turk - about 11 or 12 lbs - as we were only 4 for dinner. Plenty left over for family gathering tomorrow!
Took about 2 1/2 hours, with one refill of charcoal. Added (pre-soaked) hickory chips for last half hour, prob a bit too long; fine
pour moi but Milady found it a bit
too smoky. Skin a bit rubbery, which might also mean over-smoking. Interesting that the top seems more done than the bottom, but that may be because there's less meat at that end.
Heat stayed for a further hour-ish, enough for the stuffing(s) and to finish off the (pre-prepared, half cooked) roast potatoes ........ Yum!
