Spatchcock Vs Whole Smoked Turkey Is There A Difference On A Pellet Grill?
Spatchcock Vs Whole Smoked Turkey Is There A Difference On A Pellet Grill? This was a fun comparison seeing if there is any difference between a spatchcock or a whole smoked turkey on a pellet grill. To keep it fair I used the same Tipsy Tom brine on both these 16 pound turkeys. I didn’t inject the breasts so one didn’t accidently have more than the other but always inject the breast with unsalted butter or your favorite injection! I used my Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill so I would easily have enough room for both on the same grate! I have done several whole turkeys on a pellet grill but this was the 1st time I did a spatchcock on one. Typically spatchcock turkey is for a kettle or if you don’t have the height in your cooker from grate to lid.
In my opinion the Whole Smoked Turkey won the challenge over the Spatchcock because it retained a lot more moisture in the meat but dang that skin on the sptachcock was epic!! Thanks for watching!

I have that exact smoker and it's amazing.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Add a little baking powder to your rub for crispy skin
Dark is my wife’s presence.
About how long per pound at 325f? 16 lb.
Spatchcock is the way to go! That’s all I do anymore on my birds
subbing after the 'let's go brandon'
I was debating to spatch cock my turkey today. But you got me with if I have time. I got time. So whole bird it is. Gotta practice to perfect my yearly smoked Thanksgiving turkey.
I appreciate this bro
Thanks for the LGB, kept me from wasting my time on trash.
Lol, LGB
Everything about this cook is perfect. The only thing I would advise is don’t add the butter so early, wait until 2 1/2 hours. Great video.
Trump cult can't even make a cooking video without letting you know who's spatchcock they suck
Het thanks again..my neighbor asked me to smoke a Turkey for him..i used to do slow ..i saw your video of 300° wow what a big difference it made..best Turkey so far..thanks again
What kind of smoker is that?
Great video till the political bs at the end. So so unnecessary.
Doing mine on a traditional smoker grill.
Og Drop side grill with big pieces of mesquite
Good video!
My favorite part was when he said, "let's go Brandon".
I always do my turkeys whole. They’re juicer and have a nice table presentation. Let’s go Brandon!!!
Keep your crappy politics out of the vids and you'll be a lot better. Just sayin
You're not broke even though your name implies that you are
😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂 let’s go Brandon
Love the video. I did a spatchcock last year but cooked at 225 and the family absolutely raved. Ready to make a couple more here soon. I never knew Turkey could taste that good.
Lost me with let’s go Brandon BS. Why can’t people just make videos without injecting politics into everything? Lame.
I did enjoy your video. I think you should cook it hotter. 345 serves me well for chicken. Th skin is always crispy not rubbery. And no one complains about a dry bird. You ever have a dry rotisserie bird ? Not me. Ive done the brine things but cant see enough difference to justify doing it. Ive cooked many prime rib roast and whole turkeys in my (big easy) propane tube style like a rotisserie finish but cooks from all side at once. There is no no temperature setting to see just a burner low to high. I run it full throttle for 30 minutes then turn it to about 2/3 flame height for the remainder. I never really taste the smoke from pellet or a Kamado on it until the next day then it’s impressive. And the best lunch meat or soup protein available.
had you thought about making a steel magnetic sticker to attach to my smoker , i figured i would go full hot rod with it
Best Way is to run 2 side by side smokers…If were trying to run a true Test.
Arent store bought birds already brined? 🤔. I remember brining one and it was too salty. This was a long time ago so my memory is a little fuzzy but i seem to recall that being the reason? Idk
No cares to temp the dark meat.
I have always enjoyed your videos. Pretty disappointing to hear “political statements” on a cooking channel. Maybe you don’t realize that Democrats watch your videos too…… until they don’t
Keep politics out of your videos dude..thumbs down
ha ha lets go brandon !!!
Alright u got a sub, spotted cow and lets go brandon. 😂😂😂 you ever go up to great river roadhouse in desoto bay?
I spatchcocked my Turkey on my recteq pellet grill on thanksgiving, great…
