THE METHOD

COOK IT.

01

Place your prepared turkey over indirect heat (the side of the grill opposite the fire).

02

If using a gas or charcoal grill, add your smoker box (gas grill) or flavored wood chips (charcoal) over direct heat to generate that tasty smoky flavor.

03

Cover and allow to cook for 7 ½ hours, checking your drip tray periodically to refill with water. NOTE: If your bird isn’t 15 pounds, see our tips above for guidelines on how long to cook your turkey.

04

Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your turkey on all sides. Once all sides read 165º or higher, your bird is ready to go!

05

Let your smoked turkey rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

06

Enjoy and give thanks!
