Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am cooking a 25 lb tom I processed 2 days ago. Got the birds in August so they are not too big. One year I had a 34 lb tom that almost did not fit in the oven. Ran the splitter yesterday with some Star tron and Sea foam to winterize it. Couldn't remember if the gas in it was treated or not. I'm sure it was but why chance it.
yesterday, as I was prepping my 13# bird... I thought about a 22#'r... remember doing one few years back. big bird! 34 #'s wow... chow for a year! lol. or a big gathering... took rest of bird apart and made a pot of turkey soup.
