I want to make turkey necks similar to the ones at the 2005 eggfest. What kind of seasoning and wood chips? Indirect or direct? And how long? Thanks for the help.

    Cutlet,
    I went with indirect 325 for 2 and 1/2 hours. Did 2 necks and other turkey parts in a small cast iron pot on top of stuffing. I have to say it didn't impress wife. All the little bones and nibbling to get a decent piece of meat got her really inflamed. I'll try again but not right away.

    Wise One,
    I asked him at the fest and he told me 30 minutes in the crab boil I thought in a pressure cooker, and I could swear he had said he grilled them for 30 minutes. [p]Could be a case of too much protein clogging my memory cells.[p]Dennis

    Charbon,[p]Same here. Good flavor, but waaay too much trouble to eat. Swallowed a couple of the little bones and had to put up with a weird feeling of choking for a couple days. I'll leave the necks to the vultures. No, not the offspring..birds...birds.[p]mShark
