Local farm raised turkey breast (as in, the guy who sold it to me knew the name of the bird on his farm). Roasted at about 350-400 over Royal oak, no wood. Ate it with some stuffing with leftover sausage. Vacuum sealed the rest for lunches for the next week. That's honestly the real reason I did it...
I know there's discussion about using a water pan, at least with longer cooks. I started out without a pan (just foil on the plate setter), but the drippings were burning and making nasty smoke, so I added a little water to my makeshift drip pan. That solved the burning drippings, but then I think it created a heat sink so that the underside cooked a lot slower, and I had to flip it to finish it at the end.
Pics out of order, sorry...



Thanks for lookin'!

Great result-and to help with the drip pan issue try an air-gapped (off the plate setter) empty pan. Collects the drippings and they don't generally burn. You can use anything to create the gap; hardware nuts, washers, balled up foil, pennies-you get the idea. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.
