    Safe time for holding turkey

    Just to say thanks for the suggestions and give a little report.  After 4 hours of driving the turkeys were still showing a temp of 143.  As suggested, My nice crisp skin had turned to rubbery plastic but they stayed in the safe zone.  I thought they were a little dry but no one other than me...

    Safe time for holding turkey

    Thanks for the quick replies.  Preheating the cooler is a great idea!  Thanks for the suggestion..  I have a 110 power converter for the truck and thought about putting a heating pad inside the cooler to help keep the temps up. Great information.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!! Ken

    Safe time for holding turkey

    I need a little help from the group.  Given the years of experience on the board I figure someone has faced a similar problem.  I have 2 turkeys to smoke for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow afternoon. The problem is that dinner is at my in-laws and they are 4 hours from my house.  My plan is to...

    What is this "Fatty" you speak of? Q-view

    Looks great!   Everytime I see one posted I want to try one on the smoker.  I've made one in the oven.  You may have pushed me over the edge with yours.  It looks so good. Ken.

    4-1-1 Spares (Q-View)

    The taste test has to come from somewhere.  In my 52 years, I do not believe I have ever seen a complete ham on a table.  There has to be a pinch, pull or nibble from somewhere.  LOL. Ken

    4-1-1 Spares (Q-View)

    Since I changed from a vertical smoker to a horizontal smoker I have been struggling to get ribs just right for my taste.  2-2-1 and 3-2-1 seem to turn out too mushy for my taste.  I'm sure it's due to the temps the smokers ran.  I went back to no foil but they were a little tough..  Right in...

    Great looking Ribs. Stubbs is my choice for an out of the bottle sauce.  Thier rub isn't too bad either.

    smoked, uncooked ham smoking.

    They seem to be pretty forgiving.  I don't think I have ever screwed one up.  (with fingers crossed)  Yes, with just me and the wife, there are multiple meals on one of these.  When there were 4 kids at home they went pretty dang fast. Cheers, Ken

    smoked, uncooked ham smoking.

    Smoked one of those already smoked but uncooked hams from the grocery store today.   Took a little over 7 hours for a 7.8 lb. ham with the smoker temp @ around 250 for most of the time.  Pulled with a IT of 160.  Glazed with maple syrup and Turbinado sugar a couple of times during the smoke. ...
