Brined, smoked bird is gooder anyway.  [drool]

For a bird that size, I would strip the breasts, separate the sticks, thighs and wings and smoke the pieces individually.  That way you can staggar pulling the parts off due to varying levels of doneness.

Not as romantic as doing the entire bird but might make for a better finished product.  Throw a pork butt in the smoker while your at it!  It will disappear!

I'd remove the breasts (bone-in ofcourse) from the legs/thighs, brine them like Speedbag said, then smoke them. That way you can remove the white/dark meat separately when they're done.

All those excellent suggestions sound like waaaaay too much work.

The bird will go in the smoker whole and will be finished in the oven to make sure it reaches a safe temp. ;D

There will be plenty. ;)

Kinda late for a true 'before' pic. He was in the process of coming back from a molt so he cleaned up real good.

I'll get some pics of it when I put it in the smoker.

My buddy took the heart.

I have the liver, gizzard, and neck...not planning on gravy.

Any suggestions?

Yes, a small saute pan, butter, salt and pepper.  The cooks gotta eat!  Might have to butterfly the actual gizzard or even steak it!  They take forever to cook.

It's already butterflied...easiest way to clean it.

I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

Be sure to throw something in for scale so we can see how huge this thing really is!  :)

Let it sit out for a day, then go try and catch a catfish with it?

Check out the dimby thread.

It was the biggest turkey I've ever seen on my life.
