Figured I'd share this with you guys, and I'll eat one for the SVTP family. And yes, this is on the Weber Summit Kamado grill

I was actually in the process of cutting the backbone out and you can see it in the picture. The handle on my shears broke and I just said f have that point and threw it on the grill

That aside it turned out really great. Very juicy and had a good flavor

I stopped using shears and just grab the bread knife. Saws right through no problem!

How many pounds was that turkey? We still haven't cooked our Thanksgiving turkey. Maybe next weekend. I'm wanting some tasty turkey, especially after seeing yours. No fancy grilling here, though. Just properly prepare it and stick in in the oven, basting it regularly. Comes out great every year.

Looks about perfect. Did you inject it with seasoned butter as well?

good to know. I'll do this with my next chicken

Next time rub it down with kosher salt and pepper prior to putting in the smoker. (This is Texas Style). The hickory infusion into the meat combines with the salt and pepper.

It’ll make the skin a crispy and darker color like this but it keeps the meat nice, moist, tender and gives it an amazing taste.
