Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Does that say imitation turkey??? Just kidding, quite a bit cheaper than my .79 birds. I miss turkey during the year so I picked up a half dozen of em to have throughout the year.

Great score DWC, cheapest I've found is .79 too John. I know little about buying turkeys so when I seen them for 1.19, cheaper than the average whole chicken price, I thought was a good deal. Almost picked one up. I want to try one on the Yoder.

There hitting .59 around here. I will fill any dead space in the freezer I got. That's a great score for sure.

The farm down the road from me has pasture-raised birds for $3.00/lb.
Although I would like to try one, I wonder if it would really be that much"better" than the .79/lb super-birds at the local grocery store when smoked.
I'm torn - part of me wants to help support a local farmer, the other part of me is a cheapskate.

Welcome!
