We were at the market last week and turkey legs were $3.99 a pound. About a buck more than last year. The legs were big! We bought three legs at $21 and change. About 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 pounds each?
Made up a batch of Pop's brine. Cut the tendons, into the brine, and into the refrigerator for 5 days.
Pulled the legs out of brine, put in the refrigerator overnight to dry.
It's 100 degrees outside to today. Pushing 85 inside without AC. A great day to keep the cooking outside.

My son wanted to smoke a brisket while he was over. Used Holy Cow to season. He trimmed it. Still needs improvement but he supplied the meat.
I cooked up a breakfast scramble while we fed the fire. 5 pounds of beef bacon is what we used Grandson likes fries so I used them for the scramble
The brisket was wrapped in pink butcher paper at 165. And removed when probe tender.
The brisket was delicious. Tender and juicy.
So I had Friday planned as a honey do list day and Mrs C says why don’t we break out the boat……so out it came…..
So after a made scramble to get the the gear cleaned up and installed new batteries (10 years on the old ones….not more trust) got up to the lake after lunch and set 10 pots along the honey hole……they went in at 3 so this will be a short soak…..also trying 2 different tilapia as bait…..
Bing 3 hours later scored 17 nice crawlers! The water is still cold and interesting enough...
I must have been under a living under a rock for awhile, because I just recently learned about the vortex. Being cheap, an not really knowing if it would fit my need, I went the diy route. By cutting the bottom out of a large dog bowl.
The main reason for teying this was for chicken wings an trying to get that crispy skin.
Can't really say for sure if it was the result of the"vortex" clone. But I will be using this technique a lot more in the near future
My wife was in the mood for pizza and I don't think I've ever said no to that! She makes a great poolish dough that cooks up perfectly in our pizza oven.
I also picked up a new (to me) camera yesterday, so gave it a test run during the cook today. Appreciate you putting up with the photos (some teething issues on focus).
There was a thread yesterday about launching pies. If you look closely onto some of the launch photos you can see the corn starch which helps prevent it from sticking...
Dennys has a promo going for Masters of the Universe and a burger. I thought to myself I'd never go there for a burger but the combination sounds good. I made my own. Angus beef pattie, smoked brisket, bacon, white cheddar, pickles, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Our daughter stacked this one.
Yum
With amazing results my first pork butt on my Oklahoma Joe Bronco 2.0. The Drum held temp awesome for 10 hours Prepped night before. Yellow mustard binder, Meat Church “ The Gospel “ for rub. To date best food I have made on the smoker.
Another hot smoked chicken, think I'll start doing 1 or 2 of these a month.
Just garlic salt inside and out and a bit of red oak. This was a 5lb 4oz bird. Indirect at 275°f for about 150 minutes.
Our garden has started to really produce and to go with the chicken we harvested potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Carrots and potatoes tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted. Zucchini was dressed the same but grilled.
buzzed up some sugar free margaritas to wash it down with...
My Aunt called me. She had some stuffed bacon wrapped boneless quail in the freezer to cook. They were prepared by a local butcher shop, Chris' Specialty Meats. I whipped up a quick marinade for the birds and let them soak in that for about 45 minutes while we prepped the rest of the meal.
First up-the board. Sbriciolona salami and Coppardo with Machego cheese and cantaloupe melon.
One of the sides for tonight-Konriko Wild Pecan rice. It pairs well with the quail.
The birds out of the...
Brined, rinsed, seasoned, smoked, ate. Probably the least problematic smoke yet. NO issues. Brined with a picanha steak seasoning (95% salt) over night. Seasoned with "Bam" seasoning, smoked at 250 for about 6 hours. The beer can chicken stand worked perfectly to keep the breast upright. Even the skin came out more crispy than rubbery.
