Smoking Turkey Whole vs. Cut Up

by Carl Shivers
(Little Rock, Arkansas)

I have been smoking turkeys for about 30 years. It is usually an all night proposition of tending the fire and sleeping on the floor; too smelly to get in bed.

I saw a recipe for smoking turkey after cutting it into pieces as you would a chicken. It was stated that it took 1/2 the time as smoking a whole bird.

I'm interested in your opinion on this process.

Whole Turkey vs Cut Up
by: Carl

My self I prefer cut up, I dont have the patients for whole turkeys. I find that I get a better smoke with cut up and a more intense flavor.
