imageimageimageimageimageDid a 7 pound bone in turkey breast this weekend. Rubbed under the skin with original dizzy dust and put swamp venom on the outside. Had to cook this fairly quickly due to some time constraints. Cooked for roughly 2 and 1/2 hours at 375 with a handful of cherry chunks until it was 160 degrees. It turned out very moist and tasty. Next time I'm thinking of going a little lower on the temp maybe 275-300. How do you guys like to cook turkey on the egg?

    I just did one a couple weekends ago - went indirect, 250 dome temp, and placed it on a rib rack cuz it wouldn't stand up by itself (didn't want one side on the grate while the other wasn't on the grate).

    Turned out GREAT!!

    +1 for the 250 dome indirect-I see around 30-40 mins/# at the setup.  Turns out very moist every time.  Smoke with a light amount of apple or cherry, whichever is handy.

    did turkey a week or two ago at 250 also.  first time.  skin was taut and crispy also.

    one odd note... here, our turkey breasts are turkeys with wings, basically missing only the drumsticks. what's that all about?  is there such a huge drumstick demand at country fairs that they just lop them off?

    Don't forget about Busch Gardens slinging all those "smoked drumsticks" as well.
