My husband is in a quandry as to the time frame in which to smoke a turkey.
He's read BBq Faq's and other posts and everyone says something different.
We have a 14 lb turkey that was previously frozen....Any aficionados out
there???

Happy Q'en,

Make sure it is thawed out before putting it on the smoker

I wonder how many of us have fully cooked a chicken or a turkey with
that bag of guts in it.

/me raises his hand, several times. Yes, I hate doing that. Makes ya
feel real 'toopid.

I cook a turkey in my smoker at 350º over lump charcoal and hardwood chunks.
It's the same 15 minutes a pound as in your oven and you still get the
flavor the wood smoke offers. Another option is cooking it at 250º which
would probably take half again as long. I've tried both methods and prefer
the 350 temp, myself.

Since I wash my birds carefully both inside and out, that is not an
issue.

I haven't had that problem so far. With chicken, I would notice it
during prep. For turkey, I always make broth with the giblets, so I'd
know if I didn't *have* the giblets.

I wash out any birds I cook so I catch that little package.

However, I've caught a duck on fire before. Anyone ever done that?

Can't say I ever shot one with a colonostomy bag before. I hope you took a
picture of that!

I like to chop up the heart, liver and gizzard and cook them down (with the
neck, if included - later discarded)with some chopped 'shrooms, Marsala and
s, p & g. That, thickened plus drippings makes a great gravy.

hahaha!! No, not the bag, the duck itself caught fire as I was cooking it.
This was 14 years ago, gas grill, wasn't paying attention and the duck
caught fire and burned to a crisp. Good thing I had ham sandwiches....
