Smoked as in a smoker?  Or just cooked on the Weber?  If the latter, that's the way I'd go.  So simple and QUICK.  No having to deal with all that oil (disposal) and the safety issues.

My opinion: fried = juicier, smoked = tastier though.

Well, as long as you're ordering, you could go with a smaller deep fried bird and maybe get a smoked breast.  Definitely would not do all smoked with a ham being on the menu.

Fill me in on the difference between the two??

Post by: Tedim on November 18, 2013, 07:44:14 PM

Hot, fire is in close proximity to the meat so the smoke is hot and cooks fast....cold usually travels more than 20 feet by pipe and cools before sloooooooow cooking the fish/meat.

Hot has the normal "smoked" taste....cold has a different taste hard for me to describe.

Frying a turkey seems so odd.

Frying a turkey seems so odd. 

Plus you have a great, huge cauldron of oil to deal with. It goes bad, and you can only deep fry so much before you get tired of it.

Spot on response here. I have been cooking my Thanksgiving turkey on a Weber for a good 15 years. Incredible taste, juicy, and everyone raves about it. My wife's sister decided to have it one year and her husband got a fryer. I bet him $100 that mine would be not only better but much better. I cooked mine at home and drove the 40 minutes to their house. There were estimated 25 people and every single one of them said not only was the Weber cooked one better but substantially better. Easiest $100 I ever made...no homo.

So easy to cook. Rub oil all over it. You cook indirect where there is a basket of coals on each side. You put 25 briquets in each basket then add 8 every hour. No basting nothing. Image of indirect method below. It actually takes less time than a conventional oven.

I've prepped a beer can turkey the last 4-5 years on my charcoal pit.   Brine the turkey, marinate the turkey, rub the turkey, 1/2 can of Fosters up it's butt and indirect smoke it for 4-5 hours.  Can baste it a bit too while smoking with additional marinade.   Money.

2 questions:

Can you really taste the beer flavor and do you use any type of lubricant before the insertion?

Too much smoke gets in my eyes, fry it up and increase cholesterol is my advice.

Beer flavor?   Not really.   It's more about keepin it moist.   I've used cans of Dr Pepper before on chickens....didn't taste the Dr. Pepper. 

Lubricant?   Sometimes I'll oil up the outside shaft of the can to aid while inserting.

My Girlfriends family has a Cuisinart electric turkey fryer that rotates the turkey in the oil at it cooks, so you don't need to use so much oil.   This is the exact model they use, and the deep fried turkey comes out absolutely perfect.
