turkey in the air

Time to talk turkey...brined, smoked/cooked at 350º.

My question...breast up or breast down?

BCC style is the way I'm cooking it. I had great success with it. I cooked at 350 degrees with no water in the chamber. It had a nice and crispy skin and the inside was very moist. I did not inject it, but I did apply a mixture of herbs, butter and garlic under the skin of the breast. It was sooo good, that I can't wait to make it again.
Don't forget to have fun cooking this coming up turkey season.

Does anyone know if a large juice can will work for BCT? Or, do you know if there's another product in the right sized can for this?

TIA!

I used this turkey BC holder with a regular 12-oz size can, but it would also take a bigger size can based on the turkey size.

They also have this new holder that require much less clearance on your grill, the turkey almost sits in a horizontal position instead of vertical.

Just another option.

brined and smoked is the way to go. i smoke my breast up.

Has anyone done a turkey on a rotisserie? it seems it would be another answer to the breast up or down debate. What are the pros and cons of using one?

I’ve done one on the rotisserie, but in an oven and not on the grill. The skin was very crispy and the meat was moist, but not to the degree of the Beer-Can-Style.

Where did you find the BC holder? I've seen many different versions for chicken (smaller cans) but never the larger can.

Thanks.

I got it at Northern Tools for $8.00. They don't have it on their web site any more, but I just saw it at their store.

Thanks Z ... I'll give the local store a call.

I like the idea of the BCT I don't know if it would fit in my kettle with out thte rotisserie ring though? I believe it fits in the ECB but I like using the kettle for indirect
