I have done my first spatchcock turkey and it was really good.

Here is the bird prepped ... used a citrus rub made locally:

Here is the bird on the grill:

On the other egg, I did up some squash and mashed potatoes. Here is the squash prepped -- used some Dizzy Pig Pineapplehead rub along with some maple syrup:

Here is the squash and spuds on the grill:

This morning is made up some turkey noodle soup :woohoo: -- comfort food at its best!

    Nice lookin' cook, Tom. For pics, first, copy the image address from Picasa. Then, in your post, click the green Img button above the text box, paste the address, then click Img again. No spaces. Should look similar to this...

    EDIT - Forgot to mention, click Preview before submitting. If you can't see them in Preview, they won't show up in your post either.

    Sounds good but the pictures look like a polar bear in a snow storm.

    Steve,

    I tried using Google's Picasso and I have not figured out exactly how to get the pictures to show up :angry:.

    I see what went wrong. You used this address (which is not the image address)...

    http ://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PNHTM3O9Cdr9VeU5H_u4DIS_LU1MS2-ozrxBR0phzhk?feat=directlink

    THIS is the image address...

    If you go to the first addy, right click on the pic and copy the image addy, when you paste it into the post, it'll work. Here ya go...

    Molly,

    Try now ... gave up on Picasa for the moment and used photobucket instead.

    Michael,

    Thanks for the info. You did indeed figure out the problem. I just figured that the right hand box noted a link to the photo and this must be the link to use. However, I started scratching my head when I did not see "jpg" in the address. I edited my post and linked to the pictures on photobucket. Your sage advice means I can use picasa here on in :).

    Thanks again

    Tom

    Very nice looking cook and meal...
    I'm going to have to try that. Did it take less time?

    It took about 90 minutes for the 12 pound bird to cook -- 400* raised direct setup.

    Sooo...A bit faster. And I would assume, with that, a nice moist bird too.
    Thanks for the info Tom.

    Good looking gobbler Tom. I noticed legs are not flat as in typical spatchcock, did you raise them to save real estate?

    Gary,

    It was just the way the bird hit the grill. Cooked up nice.
