Diestel Young and Tender.....

[fabvsix]

Got the coals for the big Bird day bash Thursday coming.....Brined Diestel "young and tender" turkeys from Diestel farm in Sonoma California since the 40's via the Pitts and Spitts smoker! Nothing beats a P&S smoker! :thmbsp:

What is in the works with you for BIRD day ?


At only 6-10 pounds when fully mature the Diestel Petite Turkey is great for the grill, barbecue, rotisserie and roasting – everyday! The Diestel Petite has superior meat-to-bone ratio with a smaller bone structure. As with all of our range grown Diestel turkeys the Diestel Petite is tender and juicy with that real old-fashioned turkey flavor. It is perfect for everyday!

The Diestel Petite Turkey ranges 6-10 lbs.

Get you a 55 gal. drum. Run some rebar through it and make your own coals. Use the wood of your choice. Shovel it in the grill while it's fresh and hot. At least that's what us Carolina boy's do to all them pigs we cook.
By the way. Nice looking grill.

I'm BBQing a turkey too...only it's in a Kamado (Blue #7) using Kamado lump charcoal. I haven't tried the Cowboy lump yet.

What's the brine mixture that you are using? and how long do you brine it?

 

[fabvsix]

Brine:
Salt, White Vinegar and water with a dash of liquid smoke flavor (secret)

3-4 days prior

Kamado was my second choice unit.....I needed the extra space for large crowds.....

My turkey is brining now. It's a small, fresh free range bird and will go on the fire early tomorrow morning.
That pittsandspitts bbq looks like you could go to the county fair and feed people!

My father deep fries a turkey in peanut oil in a specially designed fryer every year. Man, does that ever taste good. I won't have it any other way.
