    Spatchcocked 16 pounder smoked with just B&B oak lump on the SNS Kamado. Had issues with the thighs and legs being way over temp before the breast approached 160. Skin was extra good and crispy though and no one complained. Thankfully they can take the heat, but now it has me thinking I may break down the 20 pounder for Saturday.

      Jim,
      I pulled ours when the breast hit 150. Carry over heat while sitting for 15-20 minutes produced a tender, very juicy breast that wasn’t pink.

      Spatchcocked and smoked homegrown turkey, stuffing muffins, and my plate! All excellent food. Turkey was super moist.

        Did our turkey with Malcom Reed’s recent butter and herb turkey recipe (as requested by the master of planning for the Thanksgiving, my wife). 14 lb bird that was wet brined for 48 hours, dried out in the fridge for 24, seasoned with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; and then smoked at 300 on the Grilla OG.

          My wife did a fabulous job with our turkey dinner yesterday - my contributions were minimal and confined wholly to manual labor. Got the bird from Crowd Cow, 13.5 lbs and everything was pretty much perfect. She's not called Queen of the Kitchen for nothing!

          The celery sticks are in honor of my Mom. She would always insist on there being some celery sticks on the table to ensure there was something green (her TxG meal featured corn & carrots). We always teased her about it in good fun, so it's a way for Rita to be there at the table with us.

            My mom always had celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese on Thanksgiving.

          One more batch of hot sauce put up today. This one is from a Serious Eats recipe, should be nice and smokey, fruity, and fairly mild. I'm going to process all my first hot sauces once the fermentation stops (should be ~ a week to two weeks). My following attempts I'll allow to age longer since I'll have some homemade hot sauces to keep me going.

            The garlic is there both to provide some flavour and to provide additional bacteria in order to ensure the ferment starts given that the chipotles are dried.

            At least you had a good excuse! 🥃

          Man feels like forever since I’ve shown a cook.

          I made a couple of chickens, some salmon with a balsamic honey glaze (thank you Malcolm Reed for the idea), some ribeyes, duck fat potatoes, and broccoli. It was all good, the KBQ chugged through the rain without a problem, boy do I love this thing!

            With the left over coals, I hung a large chicken kabob to smoke. It was finished it under the broiler for char- One onion, one sweet pepper, and two breast of chicken sliced lengthwise and marinated in chilies, spices, beer, and olive oil. It made fajitas for four. Served it with with a broccoli slaw and black beans and a quick (cheat) chipotle adobe aioli.

              Thanksgiving dinner for 12. Father-in-Law is 87 and wanted as much of his family together as possible. Only missing the two nephews that live in Georgia, everyone else was present. Which was awesome.

              Appetizers: Spiced shrimp, mixed olives, vegetables and dip
              Smoked Turkey (on WSM 22)
              Mashed potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy
              Cranberry Sauce
              Mac n Cheese
              Greeen Salad, Fruit Salad, Green Beans with Bacon
              Black olives, Cornichons, Dinner Rolls
              5 bottles of wine
              2 bottles of sparkling cider (the old man loves it on a holiday)
              Dessert: Apple Pie and Chocolate Cream Pie
              And an awesome evening - no fights broke out and holiday cheer was everywhere
              Our daughter introduced her new boyfriend and even that went well

                Looks like a veritable Foodfest, an a very memorable Family Event, Brother!

                Mission Accomplished!

              Smoked Meathead's Ultimate Smoked Turkey this year on a Yoder YS480 smoker. My wife wanted a traditional bird so we bought the vertical stand. I was too close to the gravy trimmings the space being what it was. Since I didn't spatchcock this was a 6 hour cook. 30 minutes at 210, 4.5 hours at 325, then a 360 hour to bring the breast to 160! It was delicious!

              But first, got to make the stock used the carouse of the 16# turkey my daughter roasted in the oven. LOTS of stock, that’s a 12qt stock pot! The pot was filled to the brim after I threw the breast bone in.
