TIP 1 - The cooking style to use for turkey and other large cuts of meat is indirect.

TIP 2 - One of the most common questions we get at this time of year is "How many Heat Beads^® BBQ Briquette do I need in my kettle (Weber™) BBQ?" We recommend half a 4kg bag (approx. 30-35 briquettes per side) to cook a turkey.

TIP 3 - To ensure a moist, tender turkey, cover the breast with foil one hour into the cooking process.

TIP 4 - Ensure all poultry is fully cooked before eating, to be safe use a meat thermometer. Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature is 76-77ºC (170ºF), add an extra 20mins of cooking time per 10°C that the bird is off the desired temperature.

TIP 5 - You may need to add an extra 20-30 minutes cooking time if your bird has stuffing and remember to stand the bird for 10 minutes before carving.
