Smoking a spatchcocked turkey today.....question?

I have a 16# I'm smoking at 350-375 indirect. Just trying to guesstimate a time so everything will be ready at about the same time. How long will it take?

My 14lb took right at 2:15 350-375 indirect-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

I would guess 2.5-3hrs. the last 10lb I did was exactly 2hrs

How did the 16lber fit? I bought a 17lb bird for 2 whole dollars the day after Turkey day and was thinking of spatching it up. I have a Large and not sure if it will fit though

As above, the bird body shape plays into the ease of fit but I have spatched a 19 lb bird on the LBGE w/o having to get creative. My turkey spatchcock tool of choice is a hatchet-gets right thru those bones. 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.

Might be a bit late, but if you can debone it, it cooks faster and you could fit 2 birds on at the same time. Just a thought...--------------------------------------------------

....just look for the smoke!

Figure on the bird being done at least 1/2 hour before the other stuff. It will hold fine and is much better than waiting on the protein. My $.02.

Is it just me? Every time I spatchcock, whether a turkey or chicken, I always go direct. I flip for the last 10-20 to crisp the skin.
