Trimmed, dry brined, 6 hours on 225 then bumped to 250 to end. Result was both tough and fatty as hell. Shouldnt you be able to choose between Scylla and Charybdis? 😂

    Seems like you didn’t take them far enough if they were tough or dry

    I’ve had similar issues before.

    Honestly, if it takes way too long I would put it in the oven overnight rather than eating unrendered fat.

    I’ve also recently discovered you can offset your home oven by intervals of 10f.

    So even a 12 hour rest can be achieved if you don’t mind offsetting your oven.

    I personally never use my home oven anyway as it heats up the whole damn house and I don’t cook Turkey.

    Throw in the crockpot for repair.

    Look like they needed 5 more hours.

    What temp were they when you pulled them? You cooked to temp and not time, right?

  6. 208-210 internal temp to be done with fat rendered, then rest until temp hits 150.
