Rototising a turkey

[Bruce Pearson]

Anybody have any ideas on Rotisserie turkey? I have a 17 lb. bird. But have no idea on what temp for how long, if I do this it will be my first Rotisserie on my KK. So any and all help will be appreciated.

I was about to ask the same thing. Any ideas would be appreciated

Depends on whether you will be cooking direct, semi-direct (basket splitter, with the fire in the back), or indirect (drip pan). 

I'd go down a bit on temps to 375F if going direct. YMMV

Here's where having a MEATER comes in handy - only real time temperature measurement on a rotisserie cook. Unless you trust those silly plastic "pop up thermometers" they put in turkeys. (Do they still do that??)

Been so long since I cooked a turkey that big, I have no idea of how long it might take??

The biggest bird I have cooked was only about 8 pounds but I'd cook it pretty much like I would cook it in the kitchen oven.  

One day I'll have a MEATER for this sole purpose, rotisserie cooks.
