Time to cook brined turkey

ive never cooked a bird the whole time at a low temp in the egg. what ive done though is cook all day, even into the night at temps between 200 and 225 at the grill level, then kicked the heat up for the last hour to get it done. ive always used a water pan for this particular cook. just be aware that low and slow turkeys dont have the same texture as a roasted bird and the skin goes to the dog. you could low and slow it for 6 to 8 hours then crank the heat up to 400 till done, personally i wouldnt do this on tday and would stick with a standard cook. you wont get good gravy with this cook either, thats the beauty of max's method

low and slow is good on fishing trips, setup in the morning, fish all day, crank the heatup at night, and stand over bird and devour it, have seen whole birds disapear in 15 minutes by hungry fishermen :laugh: makes really good turkey salad sandwiches, but its not whats expected by most on tday.
