With a little research I have been able to uncover some of the cooking secrets of expert Forum Chefs. Perhaps, I could get some of this info to Cat, to help him out.  Anyway, I found this cooking secret but not sure if it belongs to Mack or McGill



P.S. I do need to give proper credit to source

That Bird is NOT in my recipe box. But,,,,, if you think about it carefully, put that bacon-wrapped bird on your favorite cooker with a large drip pan under,,,???///  Gonna' try it!!
The flavor of bacon drizzling thru a chunk of turkey meat has GOT to be good. Not to mention the gravy....

With that much bacon grease, the prep would go much faster! :-)

I just sent this picture to teh guy who has ordered 3 smoked turkeys from me. I expect to get a call any minute now. Seriously though, any special forum tips on smoking a whole bird?

Seriously, when I used to smoke a whole turkey, I had one of those tall cylinder smokers, with water pan, etc.  I would put big turkey on bottom rack and a whole ham on the top.  The pork grease dripping onto the turkey worked great.

TC, never did a whole bird. But, from all I can read about prepping a big bird, all stress that you brine it for flavor and moisture retention. Long process, and need care to smoke at a high enough temp to prevent spoiling.
Good luck. Let us know the verdict.

Watch some of the more popular cooking shows and one of the most prevalent steps in preparing a dish is to brown some BACON and save the grease and pan scrapings for seasoning the main course. Pork grease is King.

Beats the Hell out of that TOFU Salve that you use in your armpits and on your morning granola. Squeeze tube style.
Is that what you wanted to see?

somebody spent a lot of time with that bird. Look at how the bacon is laced together over the breasts?? Bet that sucker looks pretty after sitting on a fire for a few hours.

Done. Post some recipes and perk up this site. It has gone into hibernation way too early.

I brined the turkeys, five total, for 24 hours in a sugar, honey, pepper, rosemary, thyme brine. I injected them with butter, chicken stock, and lemon juice with a little garlic thrown in for good measure. Rubbed them down with olive oil and then onto a smoker with a mix of mesquite and hickory.  They smoked at 235 for 4-7 hours, depending on size, until I got a 170 internal reading. Reports from 4 of the 5 were great. The 5th I haven't heard from. (Hope they aren't in the hospital.) I did do one with a cajun butter injection and rub. The guy that got teh cajun one has been buying from GobbleGobble.com, but said they have had his last order. I can't give a personal report. We had smoked prime rib. YUMMMMMM!

Welllllll, there was this one little piece that accidentally fell off when I was taking one off the smoker. And you know, waste not want not. Oh shoot, it was great! Moist, tender, a little smoke but not too much. But I ONLY tried it because it fell off. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
