I know it's not cooking BBQ, but I had that chipotle brisket and it was pretty good.

Tried doing beef ribs again
Left them on for pretty much 8 hours, incl. 1 hour wrapped
They look great and taste better than last time but man, I guess I gotta leave them longer cause look at all that fat that didn’t render
Or maybe I need to leave them wrapped for longer?
The bones came out pretty clean too
All that fat

What temp did you smoke them at?
What was your internal temp when you finished?

Grosses me out too
yea it’s from a butcher, came as a rack with 3 bones. I took out the bones and tried to get some fat from in between the layers so that might be why it looks weird between both rubs, the amount of black pepper actually make it kinda spicy
I enjoy spicy foods so I’m ok with it, just wasn’t expecting that
Maintained at 255 for most of the time, but flared up to 300-almost 350 for a bit before I got it back under control
I didn’t check the temp at the end. I’m guessing 200ish
I think I gotta do 6 hours uncovered and 3-4 wrapped next time. Idk how else I could melt that fat

Yeah that seemed like plenty of time and a good temp even with the spike to render out most that fat.Grosses me out too

Letting this tomahawk sit for about an hour before throwing it on the grill for a reverse sear.
Will smoke at 225 for about an hour or so then get the temp up to 700 and sear on both sides for about two min

Grilling the turkey this year. Plan is to do 2 charcoal baskets (1 on each side) Turkey in middle with water pan underneath. Was gonna season it with poultry seasoning, garlic, butter. Inject it with Tony Chacheres. Thinking about throwing a chunk of hickory wood in there. All the videos I've watched say it should take about 3 hours running about 350-375

Grilling or smoking?
EYE would suggest putting the charcoal baskets on one side to smoke it.
It is too much meat ( # ) to "grill."
Also, make sure you brine that thing overnight.

I was kinda gonna do a mix, but was originally leaning towards smoking...think I should go lower temp and smoke it more?

Was thinking back at smoking my first turkey and how nervous I was. I must've read about the Danger Zone for multiple weeks straight. I was not going to be the one to get someone sick 
Big bird (26lbs) I'm just gonna roast with the fam's dressing
But got myself a breast, thighs and a brisket to throw on the smoker.
Brine time

Nice. I would tend to agree going the smoking route too and cranking up the heat into roasting territory towards the end. Are you spatchcocking your bird? I could see you being able to grill/sear it at the end as a finishing touch that way
Brine I have has Salt, Pepper, White Sugar, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Garlic, Oregano and Cider Vinegar.
Gonna brine my smaller cuts tomorrow with a "smoky" premade brine from that Pioneer Lady and see how it turns out

What kind of grill are you using?
I would say there is no point in using DIRECT cooking on such a large piece of meat. Especially since it is so uneven in terms of depth. (Dark vs. White Meat).
100% indirect heat. Pure smoke.
Some ideas.

Also, I would suggest Spatchcocking your turkey. I honestly don't see the point of cooking a turkey without doing so. It cuts down on the cook time and it promotes even cooking.
And again, brine brine brine brine brine.

Wish me luck. First time cooking turkey. Brined for 24 hours using this Disney copycat recipe but added an orange to help tenderize the meat. A couple different rub combinations on the legs, left the wing naked as a control. Smoking with hickory chunks for 4-5 hours.
