I use this also and it comes out great. Ive been following mike for 6 years and hes great. Very easy to follow and i always come here for no fail ways to cook. Meat is too expensive to ruin it. But we appreciate you, happy Thanksgiving!

[robbiekoerper]

Thank you again for your videos. I was asked to smoke a turkey this thanksgiving as I have the day off. I will try the turkey hanger

This is the first time I've seen mayonnaise for a binder. It's a great idea, and I plan to use it this week. Awesome video, my man.

That’s a picture perfect looking turkey Mike! The Kosmos brine is awesome. Looks absolutely delicious too! Cheers brother!

[BuckeyeToe]

Thank you Mike once again for this recipe. I look forward to doing this every year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your and as always Go Browns!

I use this method every year. Best turkey ive ever had. Extremely juicy even days after. I used to deep fry and by far this method works better

Great video, was looking for some direction for my first smoked turkey this year and this fit the bill. You got a new subscriber.

I started using the Kosmo’s Q brine because of your previous video using it. I have never hung the turkey but I do use the internal turkey cage to hold it upright in my cabinet smoker and it always turns out perfect!

Im watching videos and look who i came across, you!! Awesome video man. A full cook from start to finish and it came out looking awesome. Keep it up man 🫡

Fantastic looking bird! Nailed it brother 👌 cheers 🍺

[tomsfoodfactory]

I need to try that mayo & rub combo. I've done it with wings and they always turned out amazing!

[slideoff]

Yup, I have the same smoker and I'ma doin a good size bird soon! That looked really good!

[RedPede]

I swear I just watched this last night

[jimcochran]

Hi i was wondering what pellets you were using .. thanks

[mikemundt]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a vertical, but can't find a series 3 anywhere to actually assess the interior size. Will a series 3 rack fit a whole rack of baby back ribs? What about a whole 12 to 14 pound shoulder? For a family of 3 is the series 5 really needed? It'd be nice to fit a family size Papa Murphy's pizza in one on my pizza stone. Our local TSC has the 3 and 5 for the same price, but only the 5 is in stock for pickup today.

Did the turkey temperature rise any as it rested? I did a prime roast in my 55 gallon barrel smoker the other day and pulled it out at 125° and in the 45 minute rest it raised to 132°

[shadowspirit]

I thought about smoking the neck and gizzards with the turkey but I can’t find anything on it 🥲 what would your feedback be on that? How long and all that 😩

[darrylvanmoorsel]

What kind of pellets did you use? Pecan?

[BoofPacc]

Would apple flavor pellets go good with this exact recipe?

[carlj.]

If you think that brine is good on a turkey you need to try high mountain brown sugar brine and traeger apple honey rub. It's amazing
