(MN) Christmas Dinner 2014 - The Gamble

As Adie has previously said, I couldnt possibly call myself a pitmaster, master smoker, BBQ chief, Sex Machine or any of the above with attempting the ultimate meal in the egg. Of course, I'm talking about the Turkey Christmas Dinner..

To start, I needed a beer....

To reduce risk of messing this up! I decided that it was a job for the CyberQ!!

I brind the bird for 24 hours in a secret mixture, this massively helps contain the moisture.. and this was moist!!!! So first job was to wash her clean

Next, lightly stuff the anus with onion, orange, rosemary and garlic..

I used a Big Green Egg bought in dry rub designed for Poultry!

Then obviously covered in smoked bacon

Placed it on a mixture of herbs and veg, excuse the 'Y\ Rack being upside down, I corrected it!

And on she went! 

Temp was at 300f, you cant cook a bird this big too low! I used some Apple Wood as the smoking agent!

Checked after 2 hours... due to panic

Pulled the bacon off after 3, and it was done after four hours!! Note, bringing does speed up the cook

Served with an array of things... all epic...

And obviously made FAR to much... this was what was left!!!!!!
