    Thanksgiving is under way!

    Well, Thanksgiving was success!  Going to post a timeline of my journey/troubles... 1)  Got the two 8.8 lb butts and turkey breast on at 12pm on Wednesday.  Temp for the first hour was pretty steady at 215-250...I say pretty steady because that's the best I could do!  Built the fire really hot...
