Hey all,are those Sous large enough for a Turkey? I usually do 12 to 16 lb Bird. I always Brine it,then BBQ on a Weber Rotisserie. I was thinking,I could leave the Lid Off and cook that skin to perfection,then pull it.

Actually,that might take too long? Mabye Lid On for like 25 min? I have never done it that way,but I do know how the BBQ cooks. Lid off is like lookin at Boiling Water. Great for drinkin beer and watching though.

I’ve never sous vide(d?) anything larger than a tri tip, but I don’t see why not. If you have a big enough pot and enough time, you should be able to sous vide just about anything - provided large enough bags are available.

I thought of that Brother,I was thinking keepen her whole. The Turkey is a tough one to cook for me. It was just a thought I had. Actually,cutting it up is the best way for perfection. I am tryin to master thy Turkey. Yeah,I have had a great Turkey,but Avy has Yet to cook the Perfect one?

I did a nice one in a apple cider brine, skinned it then in a weber kettle indirect low heat slow BBQ with sweet baby rays BBQ sauce (triple layer of foil under a wire rack for airflow under the turkey with a vertical foil wall with the coals on the other side of the kettle)

Wow,that sound’s intense. I can see what you describe in my Head on Cooking.

When you say “skinned” it,do you mean,Broke Down? No skin? The Bird is Whole?
