smoking a turkey breast

Unknown · November 2001

Help! Ineed to smoke a 6 lb turkey breast on the Egg. I have done a large turkey in years past but don't know if I should use a different temperature, cooking time, etc. How about rubs?

Tim M,
Any advantage / disadvantage to placing the breast on the rack inverted?[p]Thanks, Mike

Tim M,
I just got back from the store and my local market had fresh butterball "chicken". I do assume (I know, assume means, makes an a-- out of U and me)that yours is a turkey breast, also I believe you mentioned it came in a net. Is that correct?????? I will go to another store and look, have not decided for sure if I will try a breast of small hen.
Thanks,
New Bob

<p />Mike_W,[p]I do mine breast up. I set my drip pan on 3 firebricks so the drippings don't burn. The hotter side near the dome so I want the breast up in the hotter air. [p]Tim

<p />New Bob,[p]Mine are usually Shady Brook farms. I don't know why but that's what the wife brings home. I call them Butterballs like we call Polders - Polders. These are fresh, never frozen non-injected breasts. This was last years pre cooking test.[p]Tim[p]

Tim M,
Thanks, a picture is worth a thousand words. Guess my problem might be, I no longer have either wife to bring me anything. Helps to keep me skinny.
