Ha! I brought a turkey after Chrissy when they were cheap to throw in the freezer just for what you have post!
#metoo. Got a little one because the little CFs don't like it. But I love it, I also inject the breast with olive oil before cooking

Good turkey is really hard. The best you get is 'mildly moist in places' -- and to cook it properly you probably need to chop it into pieces, in which chase why bother having a turkey in the first place
Personally, I far prefer 2-3 good chooks to a turkey. That, and plenty of good crispy skin with succulent moist meat...

I am sorry but I totally disagree with this! Done correctly it isn't too hard to do a perfectly moist turkey through out in a standard over. I find Delia Smith's Christmas Turkey unbreakable for a perfectly cooked Chrissy Turk

Fair enough - but I have found it rare to get a decent turkey from people. Maybe I'm too influenced by Meathead - see link below on his thoughts. Have done a few in my time, but I find they are never as good as a well cooked chicken.

I think the bigger they are the harder to get even cooking, but it is possible. The father in law cooks the traditional bird with stuffing every Xmas. He's like a machine, perfect every time. I have done Franklin's method a couple of times and it was great each time. Worth exploring

@Hooroo With the jars I was wondering what kind of tops to get, for avoiding spills or explosions.
I hear you but Briscoes and Warehouse do fermenting jars of all sizes and they do the job.(tops included)

1,500 years ago, someone ate a venomous snake whole. Why?
Is the puzzling find evidence of an ancient ritual, or just a prehistoric dare gone wrong?
The stakes have been raised paleo dieters. Your move.

Right, so newbie here. I've only ever barbecued to typically cook bangers, steaks, burgers etc - most often on gas.
Finally getting a backyard after over 4 years without and seeing the stuff on here has me inspired to do it proper. I'll be on a fairly tight budget, but basically I'm looking for advice on where I want to start! Wanting to do the typical stuff I mentioned above, but look to get going on the slow/smoke cooking whatever you guys have been showing off on here. Open to getting a couple of different bbq's to be able to do the different stuff at the same time.
Help! Or do I just get meatheads book and use that?

You still SW London? IF so, go to Longacres garden centre in Bagshot. They have a massive BBQ selection. Ring ahead, and find out when the Weber guy will be onsite. He's a wealth of knowledge, and usually has some tasters there ...

@Bones stupid question, but are you based in nz? Auckland?
You don't have to answer, but could get some region specific tips
Nah not stupid I'm sure it's relevant! Moving to South/Southeast London.

@MajorRage moving to Orpington, but that's not too bad a trek I guess. I'll have a squizz. The only thing being that I'm off overseas for a few weeks (and won't get there before I go), was hoping to get everything in while I'm away so I can get straight into it when I'm back.

@Bones My colleague lives near there, and he's always talking about BBQ etc, so I'll ask him if there is one locally. If the M25 is clear though, it should only be a 40 min drive to the one in Bagshot.
But seriously, cheers, that would be ace!
