Invertabird is on

Little Steven

Set the pizza stone on the woo and put a rondelle on some plumbing tees. Didn't need the height cause the bird is small but wanted to see how much I could get. Salt and pepper inside and out, some herbs stuck in and a half a garlic bud on the top of the stand.

Pork roast from last night

Looks good. Your pics are oblong. The turkey looks 3 foot tall. On a totally different side note... Are you going to Salado?

Little Steven

Yes...you owe me beer. I don't care if it's 1600 miles away. My pics look oblong? I don't see that.

All your pics have been elongated for a few weeks now.

I believe this style of poultry cook has acquired an official name.

When I turn my phone sideways the photos are in the correct proportions.

Little Steven

All the pics look OK to me.  What did you stuff in the turkey cavity.  I'm thinking of carrots, celery, usual Simon & Garfunkle herbs.

CANMAN1976

Pics are fine now.Looks mighty tasty!

Parsley is frozen but the other three are in there. Just been picking at it but really good.

Invertabird looks good! How long did it take approx?

(your pics are usually elongated when viewed on my phone, but show up fine if the phone is horizontal. Must be an aspect ratio issue).

Little Steven

I don't know. I cook to temp! B-)

caliking

Oh I know that part... asking in terms of meal planning/timing. 

Little Steven

I put it on at 5 and took it off at 7 give or take. Threw the plastic out so I have no idea what the weight was.

I can see it now, Dizzy Pig's new blend: "Simon & Garfunkle-ish"…

What size bird????

Austin Egghead

Nice looking bird you cooked. Can't beat and inverted egged bird IMHO. Legs north results in very moist breast meat.

Speculating here, but I smoked a 12 lb turkey, indirect, 350°F in a drum smoker last Thanksgiving and it took about 2.5 hours to hit 155 in the breast and 170ish in the thigh. So I'm guessing that it was a similar size bird, maybe smaller. 

Little Steven

It wasn't very big. I seem to remember it being around 6 bucks a Kg and it was just under 30 bucks so maybe 10.5 pounds. I didn't get any pics of the whole bird as I wanted to make sure the thermapen was visible and concentrated on that. Family was really happy with it.

Hope you didn't have trouble keeping him upright with all that wind yesterday!

Little Steven

Did you get any snow?

TexanOfTheNorth

I don't count it as snow if it doesn't stay on the ground so no; but, technically yes.
