Spatchcocked and smoked with cherry. It's ON.

[GirlpoweredBBQ]

Hello, Pitmasters!! I've missed you so! Had to take a little time away from the fire to recover from surgery. But I broke out the SnS today after two long months. I was so happy to spark that thing up! Spatchcocked and smoked my first turkey. It was a dry run in advance of Thanksgiving... And it was a lot easier than I expected! It was absolutely sublime. Everyone said it was the best turkey they ever had. Perfect crispy skin, juicy, not mealy. And the GRAVY. Lord, the GRAVY. made with those smoky drippings. Never tasted anything like it in my life! (By the way, yes I removed that little pop up thermometer before I cooked it. Just hadn't taken it out before that picture)

Well, well, well, you be back. In a big way! You did'nt start with baby steps, you started with a marathon. After two mos. from my surgery, I needed help from my wife lifting the bag of charcoal & cleaning the grate. You took on a big task & by the appearance did admirably well. Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
Now about those pics. Did'nt yo mama teach you nothin girl. You're taking pics of of a mighty fine cook and you send pitchers of your note book, keys & a box of toothpicks along side that turkey? You just have to clean up your act when, you are going to invite at least hunderds of guests into your kitchen. Don't ever let that happen again, you hear?
Oh, and, it's good to see that you are doing well in your mend. Welcome back. Love that fire! 😎

[GirlpoweredBBQ]

Ha ha. You are so funny. In fact, I had that same thought, but was too rushed to clean off the counter (hungry folks at the table, and I was afraid it would get cold). I PROMISE to never do that again! :-) Thanks for the well wishes, too. It was a painfully long wait to get back in the saddle!
