Looks great! Attempting my first rotisserie turkey on the 22" kettle this year. Wish I could figure out a way to rig up a rotisserie kit on the Lone Star pellet grill, but looking forward to giving it a try on the kettle. No backup plan if it goes sideways other than hoping a pizza place is open 🍻.
Looks good. Still waiting on my Lone Star pellet grill. Using the crap out of my Webber Searwood xl. I’ve been using the rotisserie a lot. I think I’ll try the wet brine on my Thanksgiving turkey
It's hard to beat a rotisserie chicken or Turkey, in any circumstance - regardless of brining. - IMHO Having said that, dry brining is a lot easier than wet. I can't wait for Amy to take her shot at it and show what a woman's touch can really do... - Good luck Amy! - Cheers!
Ahhhh, that looks so good! I'm still a believer in a wet brine, followed by a 1 day dry brine to dry that skin out. Great tip on removing the wishbone. And, yep, can't wait to see Amy fixing the next Turkey! Sounds like a lot of fun.
I think the issue was you didn't use enough salt on the dry brine. Take the weight of your turkey in grams and multiply by .014 for 2% salt total when factoring 30% loss for carcass. ie 7000 gram( 15.4 lb) bird would need 98 grams of salt applied for proper salt level when dry brined.
Great video, You excited me with, "We got a special for you. My wife is gonna cook her first turkey." I instantly started planning the route to your location. Alas, no invite. LOL Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
You got them thinking now. I bought a smoked Turkey kit; comes with brine, a rub, and glaze. Now I’m curious your thoughts, could I wet brine it the evening before I cook it I take it out pat it dry and air dry in the fridge. Now could I season it with the rub and kinda wet/dry brine that thing?
Good morning form Texas! Is the LSG pellet grill worth the buy once, cry once price compared to the Weber Searwood or any other pellet grill you'd recommend? I'm just a casual smoker, looking for good smokey flavor from sides to meats.
Well a few things...pellet smokers are only as good as the pellets used...i have several videos comparing pits....that being said...the traeger held up smoke wise to the lone star...however it did not have all the bells and whistles...I think the open flame on the LTG gives it the edge...the size on the big lone star as well....The fireboard system is the best i have used...the whole unit is American made and the owner from what I can gather really wants his pits to run effectively and helps out on customer calls...or emails...IF you have already had the LSG in your budget its an absolute no brainer...
I own four Lone Star Grilz products, including the pellet grill. Needless to say, the LSG grills are fantastic. I simply do not trust most pellet grills for overnight brisket cooks. I have had several augur failures. That never happened on the LSG pellet grills. The integrated FireBoard temperature control is first rate. The only downside is that the LSG needs constant cleaning. The one time I didn’t follow my own advice, I had one of those famous pellet grill fires that you can see on the internet. LSG products are expensive. I obviously think that they are worth it. But, you might not want to make that kind of investment for occasional use. In that case, look at Recteq pellet grills. I have two of those and like them as well, especially the Bullseye.
Looks phenomenal Neal! Definitely Turkey 🦃 season! Cheers 🍻
Great looking bird. Can’t wait to see Amy cooking again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🦃
Beautiful King. I need those wings and a drum in my life.
So good
I got faith in Amy she can cook a good turkey just let her do it her way
Amy you got this! You have a really good teacher.
That turkey was a glistening success! I have faith in you, Amy. I'm sure you'll do great👍😊

Amy will cook a great turkey. She's been watching you cook quite a few of them! That rotisserie is fire!
Great job Neal and Amy, back to the basics and it is great too!! Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving to all your families. Fred.

I wet brine when I rotisserie. I might have to try a dry... But so far I haven't found anything better with poultry than a wet brine
100 agreed...
She can do it!!
GO Amy.
Doing an experimental brine this weekend and smoking one Saturday. Always wet brine for me.
I cannot wait to see Amy cook a turkey ❤
Just filmed...will post next Sunday
That means everyone survived. Step 1 complete!

Hey Neal, On your fly issue I use the white mesh food tents. They work great.
TY bud
Boss, you killed it yet again! Looks so good it's almost not even real, like a movie prop. I have a hat just like the one you're wearing!!
Yeah this one was legit

Did you season inside the cavity as well ? 😳🤗awesome job! Can’t wait for the next one 🤗
Yes....

Yes and no...just be careful on the exterior seasoning for salt...typically i go lighter on salt on the outside...but absolutely can do both...
Super Smoke this waS 325. What temp might you use in a smoker with no rotessire Thanks again
325....i think its the perfect temp...jsut cooked another one with Amy and we used the Traeger...
Did you season inside the cavity as well ? 😳🤗
Yes...

Is there much of a difference between brine and a rub ? As far as flavor . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.........
I definitely prefer the wet brine...
Put the dry brine under skin
Next time try it with the brine under the skin.
Season under the skin.
