Big turkey cook question

S.Six · Nov 21, 2015

Done plenty of turkeys on the wsm and kettle over the years, but that's only just one at a time. depending on temp 4-6hrs. Question is, now that I got the Lang 84 I'm smoking for others this year. I'm at 12 turkeys as of now, and I'm not sure how much time this will take. I'm planning on running the lang around 300-325° was thinking about 10hrs?
Who out there has done big cooks with turkeys?

I cooked 11 on my Shirley last year. If I remember right I kept it Aroumd that temp. and they were done in about 3.5-4 hours. If the site used tapatalk I would at picture.

I agree with Novass. I did about 8 on my Shirley last year and ran around 325 on average. Most birds were 14-16lbs and finished in around 3.5 hours.

While the cook time may increase a little because of the thermal mass. The cook time will mostly depend on the size of the turkeys, your cooker doesn't know if you're cooking 1 or 10.

As long as you keep that same amount of heat running over those birds the increase in time will be negligible.

Agree with the other Brethren,but remember your temp difference between the ends.
