That is way too much wood/pellets used imho. It should not look like that after smoking.

I was thinking the same. Made the same mistake the first i smoked a Turkey, though it still tasted good. But yeah this is generally a sign that too much wood was used.

Also too much direct heat/flame.

We make smokeries so that the place you burn wood like Alder the smoke has to travel like ~20-50m trough underground pipe to the place where meat in hanged/put on, every northern european man should have one in his yard.

I have a bias because I brought the smoked one and I think it was way better. But smoked was generally more liked amongst the 15 people at dinner.

The smoked turkey is how i cooked it but instead just imagined like it was cooked with a jet engine

Yes.

It should not be that dark.

Here's an example of a smoked turkey that isn't burned to shit from another reddit post https://i.redd.it/p1yt1di9m12a1.jpg

This is just like my setup. Smoked a turkey yesterday on the Big Green Egg with a plate setter. Can confirm that this (your linked post, not the OP) is the typical color. Can also confirm that it's a magnificent way to cook a bird. I've been doing this for about 10 years now because the fam doesn't want it any other way.

I’m aware of what a smoked Turkey should look like. Maybe a little dark but I wouldn’t say burned.

Clearly that's not the case.

Living in city will give you cancer faster than eating good tasty smoked meat.

EU cunts tried to ban my country from smoking meat, we declared it national heritage and sent EU to hui, you can buy proper smoked sprats and meat in Baltics on every market. And we take this craft serious only the best wood used to smoke and you can tell by smell and sampling if its proper smoked

I miss smoking meat with dad, the process would take around ~14 hours using the finest dried European Alder wood. mmmmmmmmmm

Appreciate it, this was my first time doing it myself, but we’ve done them for the last 7 years in my family. Always juicier than any oven turkey I’ve had.

This year, give a savory kick to your smoked turkey by swapping out the wood chips for burning tires
