Smoke it yourself, easiest Turkey ever.
Or bring it to Echo Lodge early, we'll smoke it...you'll be too loaded to leave when it's done though.

I would do what 77 said above if you stay on top of the temps you should be good.So Rebel BBQ was supposed to smoke our Turkey for Thanksgiving.

Well if that’s the case! What is a Smoked BBQ turkey? That I do every year!Bake it in the oven, smoked turkey is blasphemy!
Blaspheme this! CJbuilder recommended the Orion years ago, have two and use them all the time. 16# bird 1:45 minutes.Bake it in the oven, smoked turkey is blasphemy!
Throw it away and go buy some nice steaks.
Your welcome.
I have smoked maybe 20 Turkeys over the years. The problem is they all tasted like, well...Turkey.
I take breast readings and pull it out of the smoker @170. Let it sit for at least an hour.
We did ours last year in our Recteq. Wasn't worth the effort. Going to The Capital Grill this year.Good Excuse to go get a RekTeq Smoker. https://www.recteq.com/products/rt-1250-wood-pellet-grill
Get on FB marketplace and find a used xl big green egg. Target $800 . Easy to learn & best food you’ll ever eat.
I’m doing a 20 lb spatchcock turkey this year over mesquite
I'm with you on this, but I would say its a fairly steep learning curve for someone whos not familiar with the core concepts of running a charcoal pit, esp last minute doing a turkey for a group of people.
my first turkey on my egg I did'nt notice it was cooking unevenly left to right, didnt notice until I pulled it to rest. The left side of the turkey was totally done, perfect, and beautiful, the right side.... about 10 degrees cooler. I ended up just carving the half off, and throwing the bird back in the oven to finish it off.
I agree
I have owned,built quite a few smokers over the years and a Kamodo takes a little time to learn. Big turkey plus family waiting is asking for failure unless you have temp control down.
It took me a couple cooks on my big vision to get things right and that was just spatchcocking chickens. First time was a epic fail had it cruising at 220 and my wife started with the we need to eat at 5:30 bit. I screwed with it to adjust temp and lost control and Before you know it you are at 450 degrees and there is no stopping the freight train.
My advise would be a pellet smoker. Go see Darrel at Robinson automotive I believe he is a green mountain dealer. Watch a couple YouTube videos for burn in and getting that turkey brined and seasoned and you will be in business.
Just throw wood chips in oven you get the same thing.I love it when people tell me how Traeger’s suck...
Last years Xmas bird.
Really?! What happened?We did ours last year in our Recteq. Wasn't worth the effort. Going to The Capital Grill this year.
