You're already more advanced than I am on the BGE.

What's the game plan for cooking a turkey breast on that fuker :shrug:

I'm sure I can figure it out at the egghead forum but I'm too lazy and I want to keep it seperate from our main meal in case I fuk it up.

TIA :0008

Number one you need to Brine the Turkey

1 gallon water
2/3 to 3/4 cup of Morton's kosher salt
2 tablespoons Morton's TenderQuick
1/2 of an onion, sliced
several cloves of garlic, sliced
handfull of brown sugar
cracked pepper or pepper blend
peppercorns

I let them soak for 24 hrs

Also, I think it is to hard work with a whole Turkey,
I cut it into parts.

It was easy. Just a bit messy

Breast for T_Day and the rest I cook at a different time. (will go low and slow on the legs and thighs 220 for about 3 hrs)

For the Breast the wife likes a crisp skin. I will rub it with dizzy dust and let it get to room temp about and hour and cook it at 350 for about two hours.

A good remote thermometer is very nice. I have a primo brand. Remote BBQ temp and food temp.

For coals I will use a hardwood lump and throw in a few soaked apple wood chips at the at start.
You can do more. The wife does not like a lot of smoke.

Happy Thanksgiving Jack :toast:
