Hey everyone, With the holiday season in full swing it’s time to talk about how to make that incredible smoked turkey! I don’t know that there is a better turkey cooker out there than a Char-Griller Akorn and with the Auto Kamdo that statement just becomes even more true as time goes on. This year I wanted to give something a try that I’ve always thought about but never seen done and that is the Beer Can Turkey! While I dont think the beer can technique does much for actually flavoring a chicken or in this case a turkey, I think from a thermodynamics standpoint of helping dark and white meat cook at two different speeds, I believe this may be a great answer to cooking a Thanksgiving bird that wows all your guest. Oh, and it looks really cool at the same time. This is a really simple cook that was done in just under three hours and I think turned out fantastic. If you try it, let me know how it turns out for you as well. #turkey #thanksgiving #bbq

Ingredients :
1 12 to 15 pound turkey
4 TBSP of your favorite poultry rub
2 TBSP of a SPG mix
8 ounces of your favorite poultry injection
1 pint beer of your choice
1 bottle of spray butter
Recipe :
Remove the turkey from the bag, remove the neck, giblets, tail, and pop out the thermometer from the turkey.
Mix injection and put it into the bird focusing mainly on the breast but hitting all other areas as well.
On a wire rack in a foil pan start on the back of the turkey and apply half of the rubs.
Flip the turkey over and apply the other half of the rubs then place the turkey back in the refrigerator for two hours.
Light the Akorn Auto Kamado with two pieces of hickory wood and bring it up to 300 degrees.
Remove the turkey from the refrigerator, open the beer and remove two ounces from the can then place the turkey carefully on the can so it is in a sitting position.
Use some toothpicks or skewers to hold the wings to the breast and place the turkey in the center of the grate.
After an hour of cooking, place a temperature probe in the thickest part of the breast of the turkey and baste or spray with butter.
Let the turkey go until an internal temperature of 165 is reached in the breast which should be a total cook time of between 2.5 and 3 hours.
Remove from the cooker, slice and serve.
