SMOKED TURKEY & PORK INSANITY! InGrill Barrel secrets & the Minion Method for BBQ gold.
Can you get authentic, competition-level barbecue in a drum smoker? We’re using the InGrill Barrel for a triple-threat cook: whole turkey breast and a massive pork shoulder. I’m sharing the exact Minion Method setup for our charcoal fire and our specific high-heat InGrill Barrel techniques (hanging vs. grate method) to get perfect results in half the time!
We are cooking at high-temp barbecue range (275°F to 310°F), leveraging the vertical airflow to achieve a distinct, old-school barbecue profile. Learn how to manage the temperature, get juicy meat, and render fat perfectly without drying out your poultry.
