I'd eat that! Looks delicious😋
I plan on spatchcocking a bird for Thanksgiving. What temperature did you cook it at?
Smoke only two hours, followed by 350F until it was at 160F, rest 45 minutes before carving.Originally Posted by Ship
Spatchcock, wash, pat dry, air dry several hours in chiller. Massage with Duke's and a good rub.
Total time on this bird, 10#, about 4.25 hours. However, the second stage depends on weight.
Looks good. I am spatching my bird. I have done a few so far. I smoke at 250 for about 1.5 hours then crank it up to 375 until done. 165 degrees at the thickest part of the breast. If you don't crank up the heat the skin won't crisp and if you smoke it to long at a low temp the skin tends to get rubbery and tough.

The safe temperature is actually 155F for turkey. But a margin of safety is built into regulations.
When you remove meat from the heat, it will rise up. Pull it at 155F, it's going to at least 160F.
And pulling it at 160F is going to result in at least 165F, giving you the Federal value, by default.
If you want it a bit more moist, but completely safe, back down just a little bit & judge yourself.
Most use butter to crisp up the skin. But mayo will provide a true Maillard reaction. Test it once.
With all of that said. How did your test run taste?
Like smoked turkey sandwiches with Alabama white BBQ sauce.
We ate a bunch Saturday & used more to make chili yesterday.
And we gave the neighbor a batch, including homemade buns.
Now we have two drumsticks, two wings and more chili to eat.
An entire turkey is a commitment. A lot of food for two seniors.
Today, I'm doing a pork loin rib roast. Cranberry Bourbon sauce.
Your making me hungry and its only 7:00 AM.
Oops ... let me at least feed you properly, breakfast is served. Strawberry or Coconut Mango.
I'm all waffled out for the rest of my life,as my mom made them all the time growing up,as well as pancakes,all from scratch. NOW,french toast on the other hand,I could never get tired of. Mom made home made bread also from scratch,THE best home made bread you could imagine,and that made the french toast Heavenly.
Nearly everything is from scratch here. We can easily accommodate you.
Start with warm homemade bread. Create a true batter and have at it.
First up, a banana walnut bread drenched in dark Vermont maple syrup.
Next up, rich brioche bread, soaked in a light batter with fresh peaches.
And just in case anyone has a biscuit fixation, we do cook them up too.
What is your smoker?
Traeger Pro 22 ... only two of us. Does a good job, efficiently.
Home Depot is $499 for Black Friday, 10% less for military.
If you really want a deal, another $50 off if you get a HD card.
Did you get the folding shelf for yours? I love having the shelf on mine.
Not yet. Probably do it soon. Maybe on Friday.
We've been focused on hurricane repairs lately.
Need to order a new iPhone too, never ends.
My Test run today. Same method. A success for sure. Nobody wants me to go back to baking.
