Did the skin turn out crispy ? Or was it rubbery ?

Love my Masterbuilt. Did turkey breasts last Thanksgiving and they turned out awesome. Simple salt and pepper with hickory wood chips. Didn't even marinate, did it last minute and they were outstanding. Easy operation and great results.

I have the 30" digital electric smoker with broiler. Our family has enjoyed some great meals from this unit. Last Turkey I smoked at 275 still had a rubbery skin. I have read the comments below about finishing in an oven. I was wondering if I used the top broiler to crisp the skin, would it be best to at the beginning, throughout or at the end of the smoking process.

Hi! I followed your recipe and the Turkey turned out delicious. Thank you! I have a question. I had trouble bringing the thigh up to temperature. I used a GMG pellet grill at 300 degrees on a rotisserie. My turkey weighed 10lbs. At 5 hours the breast was 160 and the thigh was 140. At 7 hours I took the bird off and the thighs were still pink and uncooked. What should I do next year differently? Thank you!!

Thanks so much.

Can you use the liquid brine? Every video I've seen they use a dry brine.

Hi , is it necessary the texas crunch method here ?

I have smoked 15 to 27 pound turkeys in my Master built 30 inch and my 40 inch smokers. Master built has a customer service line who will help you and I loved my 30 inch smoker so much I wore it out. Lol

How do you get the skin crispy on a smoked turkey? I did a butter Cajun injected turkey similar to this one. Flavor and moistness was out of this world good nut the skin was soft and rubbery

Salt the skin and leave it out in the fridge for a day to help dry and pull water out of the skin. Also, I spike my bird at the end in a 400 + oven or grill to help crisp it off.

so If I smoke a turkey in a smoke hollow pro series propane smoker at 225 or 230 with two 12 pound birds it should take 6 to 7 hours of total cook time?

@sbstoner

5 жыл бұрын

Most say and I as well smoke at a hotter temp closer to 300. Should take 4 hours at 300. You will get a much smoke-er bird at 220. Not sure how the skin will fair at that temp. I also find spiking it off in a hot oven or grill at 400 at the end gives it a nice crisp char to it if needed.

If I was to Spatchocock the turkey how long do you think the smoking time would be and at what temp..?

@sbstoner

5 жыл бұрын

Well, size of bird also matters but you should cut the time down By 1/3 to1/2 or so. So I would start temping it around the two-hour mark or so. With a cooking temp close to 300 is my go to for birds. And you're looking for 165+ in the breast and 175+ dark meat. Also, you should dry the bird in the fridge uncovered to help dry the skin out to get crispier skin at the end. And if it's still a little rubbery at the end I all ways spike it off in a 400+ oven or grill to get a nice char on it.

How does it cook at 38 degrees and below outside? I'm sure it will affect the cook times but will it keep the temperature up???

@sbstoner

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's going to affect your cook time and thr smoker will have to work harder to keep temps up. Some smokers have add on blankets that wrap around your smoker to keep the temp up in cold weather. Not sure if they do for these.

Turkey Day is on the way! :)

When is done, do you wrap it and let it rest? If so, how long should it rest? Thanks!

What should I set the temp if im cooking a full turkey and a 10 lb brisket at the same time? how long for each/

@Masterbuilt

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Ivy! You can smoke at 225 for both. For your turkey, you will want to do 30 mins per pound or internal temp reaches 165F. For Brisket, you will want to do 45-1 hour per pound (10 hours) or until internal temp reaches 190-200F.

why is the 30inch unit with no glass with the controls on top and to rear $175 and the same unit but with the controls to the front over $200 dollar i would like to buy the unit with the controls to the front but not for over 200 dollars

Found my by a dumpster looked like it was used 1 time and was not liked. I, on the other hand, love it and have had great results with it. I think mine is the smaller type without the window. To which is not really even needed other than a marking ploy for those who can't help but look at it. But also after a couple uses the glass gets covered with the smoke build up anyways so what's the point. Also, the old saying if you're looking you ant cooking still holds up.

+danny Mason Many years ago, I smoked a whole chicken on my Brinkman electric smoker. When I pulled the chicken from the smoker, it looked like those birds on cooking magazine covers and was very juicy and tasty, however, the skin was soft and flabby. I just peeled the skin off and enjoyed the rest of the bird. At those low smoking temperatures, I don't think you can achieve that crispy skin like an oven roasted bird. Smoking is a great way to cook a chicken or turkey if you want great tasting meat, but you will probably not want to eat the skin.

can you add stuffing in the cavity while you're smoking the turkey

@Masterbuilt

5 жыл бұрын

We don't recommend it because of the risk of bacteria growth. If you want to try it, we suggest making sure that you smoke for the internal temperature of your stuffing at 165 (which may take longer to reach than your bird itself - possibly drying out your meat). Also, try to leave out any eggs in your stuffing to help take away some of the risk.

How many tubes of chips do I use on a ten pound turkey breast over the five hours in the smoker?

@wfqsfg

5 жыл бұрын

You should add more chips every 45 minutes to an hour. The more wood chips you add each time the more smoke you get. Experiment and see what works for you. I found that adding too much mesquite is a little strong and bitter. Fruits woods are milder. I've heard people say that 2-3 hours of smoke is all that is necessary. You don't need it for the whole cook time.
