Cooking Directions:
- Remove the turkey from the bag, remove the neck, giblets, tail, and pop out the thermometer from the turkey.
- Mix injection and put it into the bird focusing mainly on the breast but hitting all other areas as well.
- On a wire rack in a foil pan start on the back of the turkey and apply half of the rubs.
- Flip the turkey over and apply the other half of the rubs then place the turkey back in the refrigerator for two hours.
- Light the AKORN® Auto-Kamado with two pieces of hickory wood and bring it up to 300 degrees.
- Remove the turkey from the refrigerator, open the beer and remove two ounces from the can then place the turkey carefully on the can so it is in a sitting position.
- Use some toothpicks or skewers to hold the wings to the breast and place the turkey in the center of the grate.
- After an hour of cooking, place a temperature probe in the thickest part of the breast of the turkey and baste or spray with butter.
- Let the turkey go until an internal temperature of 165 is reached in the breast which should be a total cook time of between 2.5 and 3 hours.
- Remove from the cooker, slice and serve.
