my turkey tales wild and domestic

thirdcookie

so some of you know i have been stressing over turkey cooking on the egg. Did my first turkey on the egg on Sat night with a lot of help from GrampaGrub. Thanks Grampa!! It was only half cooked. the top part was was great....the lower part that was in the bottowm part of the v-rack and in the drippan was under cooked. :( I don't know why? Obviously it was operator error.. :woohoo: :woohoo: So ......

Not one to give up, today I did the wild turkey my hubby shot. some of you may remember my post regarding it...no skin :unsure: not sure why he skinned it, to much trouble to pluck it i guess. Anyhoo!! injected the breast with cajun somthing or other. This time, i paid attention to the advice I got last night. Made sure the egg was stable before I loaded it. and then didn't peek. I covered it with a chicken stock soaked cheescloth and let it go for two hours. It was really good. no game taste at all. One thing i notices, is the egg gets hot and then comes down once it has been lit for about 45 minutes. I was under the impression once you reached the desired temp, adjust vents and away we go...I was so wrong!!

Thanks again for all the help and advice over the last couple of weeks!! Hubby shot a pig last night so sometime this week I am going to cook a piggy roast! wish me luck!!
