  1. 01

    Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and then brine with a brine of your choice at one hour per pound.

    Next, inject all parts of the turkey with the injection of your choice and season with the All Purpose Rub and SPG of your choice.

  4. 04

    Load your AKORN Auto-Kamado with charcoal and preheat to 300°F.

    Before placing the turkey on the grill, place a few chunks of your desired wood into the grill for smoke.

    Once the smoke is burning clean, put on the turkey and let it cook for one hour.
