    Grilling/Smoking/BBQ

    Thinking about grilling turkey breasts on the Weber this weekend. I've never cooked a turkey breast on the grill before and was wondering if anyone had suggestions.

    Brine?
    Indirect/direct heat?
    Good seasonings?

    Re: Grilling

    I did one a while back on a Weber grill; nothing fancy, just used Greek seasoning for "rub" and tossed it on. You def. want to use indirect heat. I set a pan on top of my charcoal holders to provide indirect heat and catch the drippings. Turned out really juicy and good.

    Oh, and put a little water in the drip pan to start out so as to help hold down the temp. and help keep the bird from drying out.

    Phone pics attached.

    Indirect with a water pan is essential. The Smokenator 1000 helps a lot too. I don't think the rub or brine really does much, but I use a crap load of smoke! Stay between 225 - 250 and cook to temperature . . . not time. I smoked a 12 lb turkey last Thanksgiving and pulled the skin back to get more smoke into the meat. It kicked ass.

    This is my favorite resource on the web for BBQ/Smoking: http://amazingribs.com/

    A brine doesn't do much for smoked meat, but rarely cook pork or turkey without a brine unless I'm smoking it.

    That is pretty cool. Did you have to do anything to maintain the fire?

    Re: Grilling

    No; I didn't even open the lid for the first three hours and with the bottom vent open about 1/4-1/3 and the top vent wide open, it just chugged along at a dome temp. generally between 235 and 245 deg.
    Should be able to go at least 8 hours without fooling with the fire with this type setup.
    Ran it for a while with the vents wide open at the end and the dome temp. sat at a steady 325 deg. until the fuel started running out.

    Re: Grilling

    I am in the process of building a new home and will have an outdoor kitchen. I have ordered a Saber 4 burner grill (infrared); does anyone have any input on how these perform?

    Didn't mean to hijack the thread, BTW.

    I absolutely hate infared. Just my personal opinion. If you're going to have grill- have a grill. Otherwise just put an oven and stovetop outside and call it an outside oven and stovetop.
