WOW! Both turkeys look amazing and right on the money. Bravo!

Did you have any kind of diffuser or water pan in the drum? Did you ice the breasts down at all?

Looks great

Usually, yes.

I went on a long hunt for a "natural" or NON enhanced bird last year or the year before and found how hard it was to find one that is NOT previously "enhanced" with a solution.

Both of the turkeys I did this year were just your standard variety "enhanced with up to 8% solution" birds. I still brine em with good results.

I know where you could have got a fresh bird... non injected... I cooked damn near 30 of them...:laugh:

Looks great! Nice color skin. Even looks crispy. :Thumb:

I picked up a 18# bird last night that I plan on smoking on Sunday. I keep debating trying the pitbarrel cooker hung, or my UDS spactcocked, or doing like you did. ... hard to decide.

Those are a couple of great looking birds. I haven't been an injector but I think I'm putting one on my Christmas list.
