  • Though I’ve cooked many many turkeys on old Smokey Grills. This turkey was 14.83 lbs. This time I tried it with the Vortex. Due to my error the turkey wasn’t to pretty for presentation , yet even so it was very moist and delicious. This cook was an experiment not experience. However I will do this again -be soon. #Vortex #OldSmokey #JDCharcoal

    Lew a Turkey should look tender juicy and delicious and that one does. My poultry has never been fashion show or Instagram worthy. Love the vortex idea. Great video

    When I saw the amount of charcoal, I was thinking, "yeah that's going to get hot". Trial and error is the only way we learn. Great job though. Meat looked scrumptious

      Where do you live? Here in the central Gulf South, Old Smokey’s are available at most hardware stores and even Wal-Mart. However the brand is still somewhat regional. So if you live out side of the area you probably do meet to order them.
      They are ubiquitous Arron’s these parts.

    I think I like this style of cooking turkey. It had a lot of good techniques. I appreciate the learning curve, you shared with us. Thanks for failing, so l wouldn't have to. But at the same time, you were able to learn and teach many things. Even with that, the turkey turned out good. Happy Thanksgiving🦃🥧. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing.😎🇺🇸.

    Brother I have been meaning to do this for years with my vortex. I have the same trouble with heat when I rotisserie sometimes because of the big hole where the skewer goes through.
