Full Fledged Farker
So I got my drum recently and fatties on deck but planning a turkey this coming weekend. Will be my first smoked turkey and first larger cook on drum. I’ve done a few smaller cooks on drum and I’ve noticed the underside gets a little more done than the top. That brings me to my questions....
1. Any special considerations with a turkey on drum?
2. Better to rack or hang?
3. Flip halfway through?
4. Shield bottom with extra diffuser or foil pan? Foil bottom of bird after a while?
5. I prefer not to spatchcock but will if it will make my life infinitely easier.
So my questions are drum specific not how to cook the bird that I have my game plan done lots of chicken on my primo, but I’ve noticed already it cooks differ t than a kamado.
For those curious using Cajun seasoning with Cajun butter injection, cooking at 300-325. Bird currently thawing in fridge. It’s an enhanced bird so if I brine will only do a light one.
Thanks in advance!
