I love that he's honest and says he should have smoked it longer!! This is a man we can trust when grilling.

Like others commenting on here this was my first time attempting a whole turkey on a pellet grill, because I recently purchased the exact same RECTEQ grill your using I decided to use your video. I had about 15 people relying on me to make a great turkey I was a little nervous. I’m glad I used your instruction because the turkey turned out absolutely fantastic. I’m going to do the same for a Christmas dinner. Thanks again! 👍👍

Thank you for the video! Followed your tips here on my first smoked turkey for a family dinner, turned out great!

I saw this, this morning and changed my mind on how I was going to make. Arnietex, you’re the man. It was quick and it came out delicious. Everyone loved it. Thanks brother

Mr Arnie, Thanks for the video. For the last couple days I'd been looking for ideas/videos and was wondering about brining pre brined turkeys and you explained everything I wanted to know. Much appreciated!

Hey Arnie, great video, thank you! The meat probe and digital gauge, did that come with your pellet grill? Which model grill is this?

Hey Arnie, I purchased some of the WOW rub that you recommended. To be honest I thought it would be just another rub sitting on my shelf. Man, was I wrong! Use it on just about everything! Nopales and eggs taste great. And I create my own rubs cause I don't find exactly what I like so I am a little picky. I did this recipe you show above and used WOW as a base and man it came out great. I purchased (2) bottles of them and now looks like I am going to have to get that OG. Good work Arnie!

Hi, I'm new to a smoker pellet grill. We have a Members Mark Pro pellet grill from Sam's Club. I want to smoke our turkey next week for Thanksgiving and your video is great. But you don't explain how to brine the turkey? I plan on taking it out of the freezer [14#] on Sunday. You also say you injected it but didn't go into detail. Please advise for a newbie! Thanks! Your video was great!

@ArnieTex

2 жыл бұрын

I do not, my mother always does the gravy for us. She just uses the turkey drippings, chicken stock or broth, and adds some carrots, onions and celery and garlic, then I’ve seen her use flour to thicken it up. The key is the turkey drippings and neck for flavor.

What is the pan u put water in? I bought the same pellet grill

New to your Chanel Arnie, appreciate your tips with the butter. I have the same smoker you use and I’m thinking of starting out at 225 for 2hrs. then 325 for the rest of the cook. I’m also thinking of using a drip pan so we can make gravy. Have you ever used a drip pan with your pellet smoker? Appreciate what I’ve learned from you.

Bird meat takes on smoke pretty well, I have found starting out at "LO" which is about 180 for 20-30 minutes is about right. As I understand it the smoke will take better at the start of the cook.

That is a great color on that Turkey and very juicy. Thanks for the tips Arnie. You used butter except for I Can't Believe It's not butter for the injection. I reckon you got a reason behind it. Is it because it will hold up better and keep the meat more moist over using butter injection?

@ArnieTex

2 жыл бұрын

The injected butter is not really butter, more like flavored water but it sure adds great flavor to the bird without being splotchy and streaked like the oils and regular butters but those work well too.

Bring the initial heat up slower, you need enough time for the beans to absorb the water, once they are full the won't crack

Really depends on internal temp when you start cooking and your cooking temp as well. Use a good thermometer till is done, done go by exact times, its just a guide.

Tip number 8: put the breasts DOWN not up. Gravity is your friend. The moisture that ends up in the pan is useless.

@drzoidberg1

10 ай бұрын

I was going to comment the same thing, especially when you have the radiant heat coming off that shield, upside down will bring the cook times between the breast and thighs a lot closer. But you tend to lose the beautiful colour on the breasts when upside down.

Use idea…lift skin put your butter and seasoning underneath

I set mine to about 225°-250°. It took like 10 hours to cook. But boy was that Turkey tender and soft. The meat practically fell off the bone. Granted I also cooked it inside a metal tray that is normally used for oven turkeys. So the Turkey got to sit in the juices while it smoked

Isn't it dumb to poke all them holes is the turkey with the probe? The juices are escaping every time 🤔

Hey Arnie next time try cutting the spine out of the Turkey and remove the breast bone down the middle lay it breast side up BEST for cooking Eavenly @ 277 degrees % for like 2-2.5 hrs

All poultry is safe to eat at 165 and especially if the juices run clear, however 175-180 is good too as it breaks down the connective tissue and collagen and makes the drums more palatable.
