Wife volunteered me to cook for her family's Christmas get together. Wish me luck. Birds on at 7:00@325. Hoping to take off and get on the road by 11:00.

Temp on the grill got away from me for a little while. The two birds reached 170 in the thigh before I knew it. Only took about 3 hrs

Dmaxphill. I hope your dmax treats you better than mine. My 2011 left me on the side of the road this summer only had 47k on it. Now 5 months and 10k in repairs and still not right.

Yikes, sorry to hear. I'm on my 2nd and so far so good (knocking on wood). My first (and why this screen name follows me everywhere) was a 2003 3500 drw. I put 150k on it and last I heard it's still working as a tow truck in San Antonio. Now after some time with a Tundra I've got a 2015 SRW with 25k so far.Gasman77 said:Dmaxphill.

How large were the turkeys? I'm cooking a 20lb on my large bge. Shooting for 300-320 degrees.

Sorry I didn't see your post. The birds were 12.5lbs each. Over all they came out pretty good. Great flavor. A little drier than I would have liked. 325 was the temp I was going for. Had trouble Keeping it there that day for some reason.

My first came out really well. Kept temp consistent at 325 with cyberQ.
-
I need to get the IQ or Flame boss. Maybe I'll get one for my birthday
-
I did one for Thanksgiving . 14 lbs I think. I started doing birds standing up, like beer can chicken , but with a pineapple
-
Good looking birds there - well doneNashville, TN
