Start the Big Green Egg and prepare it for cooking.

Add Big Green Egg lump charcoal to the grill and create a pile in the middle.

Use an igniter to start the charcoal and get it glowing red.

Use a fan to speed up ignition time and reach a cooking temperature of 350°F.

Add a convector and a drip pan under the grill to catch juices.

Prepare the turkey breast, which is both lobes on the rib cage, and note it has a brine solution.

Slather the turkey breast in mayonnaise to act as a binder for the rub.

Apply cluck rub generously all over the mayonnaise-coated turkey breast.

Let the turkey sit while the Big Green Egg warms up, allowing the rub to soak in.

Place the turkey breast on the grill and check the temperature every 30 minutes.

Aim for a final internal temperature of 165°F for doneness.

After 30 minutes, check the temperature; it should be around 62°F.

Continue cooking and check again after another 30 minutes; it should be around 100°F.

At the 1.5 hour mark, check the temperature again; it should be around 144°F.

Switch to checking the temperature every 15 minutes until it reaches 165°F.

In the last 10 minutes, stand the turkey up and drizzle fire honey over it to glaze.

Once the turkey reaches 165°F, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
