I'm just catching this video after we've eaten for the day and kids are cleaning! So nice to kick back after a long day. I actually butterflied two smaller turkeys this year for the first time and smoked them with hickory. Turned out delicious! My brine yesterday was different though, started with apple juice, whole cloves, rosemary, sage, thyme, onions, apples, cinnamon spice, brown sugar and a dash of a few other ingredients. Brined over-night and then on the pit today by 11. Done at 2. Great turkey.
Great job as usual. That turkey turned out great. Those drum smokers really do the job. I cooked ribs and a small turkey breast today on my PBC and everything turned out great.
Wayne Dimirsky I bet it was awesome! I agree, it’s something magical with the drum style smokers. Thanks for checking out the video Wayne and happy holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving great informative video, I think you might make a good Chiropracter, My back felt better after the back crack. Have you been watching the Weber Smokefire, video. Great Looking Turkey.
I have been checking it out. Baby Back Maniac has a good video where he is giving pros and cons while cooking up some awesome steaks. It looks like an awesome pellet grill for the price! Happy Thanksgiving my friend. I just finished watching my Cowboys get annihilated by the Bills. I think we play in your neck of the woods next against the Bears..Take care!
watch a bunch but had a question....I have a bbq guru and gateway as well. Does the second intake need to be closed while the guru and fan are in use? Thanks. Great show!
Sorry I missed the question. I went to sleep very early yesterday because i had to cook 7 Turkeys on my Ole Hickory. Which grill did you choose? Both make fantastic Turkeys so i know you couldn’t go wrong either way. Happy Thanksgiving.
3.5 hours between 325 and 350. It was delicious. I have orders in for 6 turkeys this Thanksgiving. I’m going to use the ole hickory smoker, wish me luck! Happy holidays
DixeyNormis Hi Dixey, they are rated for food storage but not for use in the microwave. Thanks for checking out the video! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Awesome video, but I can point out 6 cross contamination that you did in his video, I don't understand why you do stuff like that that is not healthy, and not a good image that you put on RUclips, great food, great videos, but a lot of cross contamination
@@mimblewimble843 go back and look at the video and you will see several crossing terminations, but I'm not here to start anything, I'm just putting out stuff that people have pointed out to me before when I have done videos, that's why I took most of mine off.
You will have some smoke escape but nothing to be alarmed with. It seals pretty good even with the probes. The Gateway smokes meats like an offset smoker. Rich smoke flavor yet not overpowering. Love the drums!!!

Giuseppe Teofilo That is so awesome. Thanks so much for checking out the video and allowing me to bring Anerican style Bbq to Italy 🇮🇹!!

That is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving.
Would love more Gateway content. :)
I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. I will definitely make this happen. Thanks for checking out the video. Have a good weekend.

Thanks. Great show!
Yes. If not, the drum will never stabilize and always try to run hotter than your set temperature. Hope this helps. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@DskiGrillz You are the man. Thank you, sir.
Looks great! I'm looking forward to my first smoked turkey in my gateway. I was aiming for a slower cook of 275-300 degrees. Cant wait!
Awesome!!!
My man D!
Question- Doing my 20lb bird tomorrow. You recommend the Weber Summit or a Pit Barrel Cooker? Thanks!
Sorry I missed the question. I went to sleep very early yesterday because i had to cook 7 Turkeys on my Ole Hickory. Which grill did you choose? Both make fantastic Turkeys so i know you couldn’t go wrong either way. Happy Thanksgiving.
No worries! Happy Thanksgiving!
I spatchcocked the bird and used the Weber Summit. Best Turkey I ever made!
@@DrewBoy313 I bet it was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I know it was delicious. That was a monster bird.
How long did you cook your brine for
24 hours.. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for checking out the video.
How many hours did you smoke it for?
3.5 hours between 325 and 350. It was delicious. I have orders in for 6 turkeys this Thanksgiving. I’m going to use the ole hickory smoker, wish me luck! Happy holidays

@@DskiGrillz Thank you for the quick reply!!
That thing looks horrible. @ 4:25 Hahaha! What happened????
Insane clown posse fan?
LOL....burnt it and dried it up.

Where was the cross contamination?

Good videos. How do you like the gateway drum smoker? Also how good does the lid seal with the temp probes ran inside? Thank you.
