Following Larry's procedure when he did a pulled turkey. Put some Big Rons rub under the skin and seasoning salt and pepper on the skin and cooked the turkey on the WSM between 235-250*. I wasn't paying attention and temps jumped up to 270* once. Put the turkey on at 0830 this morning with a little apple and red oak chunks. Pulled the turkey when it hit 150* (around noon) in the breast and wrapped in HDAF and placed back on WSM. Pulled the turkey when it hit 180* in the breast (around 2:00pm)and put it in a prewarmed cooler. Plan on letting it rest for a couple of hours if I can wait that long, the smell is driving me crazy.

Great lookin' bird Vermin, really nice golden color. Bet it will taste as good as it looks.

The turkey wasn't as tender as I had hoped but it still was really good.

That looks super yummy! Of course, I am a touch biased, as turkey is about my most favorite protein!

great looking bird

I think they used to serve this stuff on a bun in the cafeteria back in Jr. High Screwl. It was shredded up turkey covered in sauce sorta like a sloppy Joe. I could eat a bunch of em. Yum yum. Great job.

Thats great! I smoked and pulled 5 chicken for my daughters birthday last year and served them in tortilla like a wrap and it was a huge it. May progress on to a turkey this year after seeing what you did.

Hey Vermin, great looking bird. I did one last week and used all the legs and wings to make turkey beens. Got the recipe from Larry Wolfe's website. If you mush up the beans a bit you can use them as you would refried beens for tostadas. They come out great!
