Butt smoking status?

[kulamauiman]

I need to try this. how would I set up the kettle grill to do this? How long for a turkey, and is it weight dependent?

Mach, I did that last one in my smoker.... but easy enough to do on the weber kettle too.

Here is a great video showing a turkey being done on a weber kettle
Go by temps, when doing a whole bird go for a breast temp of 175f and keep the cooking temps about 250-275F
(whenever I have used the 165 breast temps for a whole bird I have always had issues with some blood (trace) in the thigh bone area)

If doing pieces shoot for more along the lines of 165 for breast and 175 for thighs

When I was younger this referred to despeate smokers relighting already entinguished cigarettes when they ran out.
