I bought turkey thighs an hour ago for $1.19 a lb. Taking suggestions on how to cook them till 5 central time. I have a wide assortment of Dizzy Pig rubs.

I would smoke them low and slow I think the turkey legs can be kind of tough.LGBE, SBGE,Blackstone,Weber Kettle, Weber Smokey Joe.

Rub. 400/425 Direct Raised. If sauced do the last 10 min. This works for me on spatchcock whole turkey, or turkey wings, or turkey legs.
I like coffee rub but use what you like.
Smoke: not more than one hand full of cherry or cherry/pecan mix chips.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd. -
No coffe rub available but I might do one Shaking the Tree and one Crossroads. Going to skip sauce.

I think either direct or indirect will work fine, but IMO the most important thing is to cook them until they are about 180 degrees internal temp. I think I would go with the @Mickey method and go raised direct. They will be done quicker and you will get a nice crispy skin. Low and slow also works but if you are lighting up at 5 you might not have time.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I might postpone the cook till tomorrow. I have a pecan limb but it needs to soak.

Please never wet or soak ANY wood for the Egg. Not needed. Remember that lots if smoke is not your friend on poultry. When i said handful i am talking just cupped hand.Gulfcoastguy said:I might postpone the cook till tomorrow.

I'm sure that it's sacrilege but I'm actually not a big fan of smoking. My egg doesn't have a gasket so slow and low is out of the question for now any how.

I don't have a gasket on my large and haven't for some time. Low and slow is not a problem without it.LGBE, SBGE,Blackstone,Weber Kettle, Weber Smokey Joe. -
Now I've got to go to my former boss's going away party tonight. Delays!
