Primarily I did this because it was a 22 pounds turkey. I use apple wood. My family likes the smooth smokey flavor. Typically slow smoking poultry does result in rubbery skin. There are a few things you can do to minimize this. I brined the turkey for 12 hours and then patted it dry. I then placed the turkey in the refrigerator UNCOVERED overnight. This dries out the skin. Prior to placing in the smoker, I lathered butter infused with seasonings all over the turkey (some folks I know also lather butter under the skin). During the smoking process (takes 5 hours at 230-250 degrees to reach 185 thigh, 165 breast)I baste the turkey with the remaining butter every hour or so. I use a water bath in the smoker. It came out perfect. Skin will not be crispy but it wasn't rubbery either.sylvie1950https://www.blogger.com/profile/00691409554634095200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-65202238728162420522008-12-16T15:18:00.000-08:002008-12-16T15:18:00.000-08:00You did a vertical roasted turkey in a WSM?

The skin was too rubbery, and the low and slow method of barbecuing made the turkey too smokey for my family's tastes. I prefer to grill turkeys now.Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-79093105083302960422008-12-11T06:28:00.000-08:002008-12-11T06:28:00.000-08:00Your rack of pork is to die for!Your rack of pork is to die for!MrsSadittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006524381295379854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-51693527206461842222008-12-04T23:03:00.000-08:002008-12-04T23:03:00.000-08:00Wow!
