    BD's Pre Holiday Smoked Turkey. A Foamheart Request

    Thanks Brian, I appreciate it. I just didn't know if it would create a nice crisy, flavorful skin. But you do mop it with something, that's what I was wondering about.

    BD's Pre Holiday Smoked Turkey. A Foamheart Request

    This is a legitimate question.  When we smoke ribs or butts we hose them down every hour with apple juice.  It adds to the flavor as well as the really nice bark on the meat.  Do you spray the turkey with anything during the smoking time?  I'm wondering what apple juice would do for the flavor...

    Chad's Attempt at Bacon On A Stick (QView)

    Thanks Bear, I appreciate the motivation. I'm sure that IF I do make another attempt at it, it won't be until next year. We're all kind of scared by this experience.

    Chad's Attempt at Bacon On A Stick (QView)

    Well I decided to give Bacon On A Stick a try. I was super excited to try these and talked them up all week to the family. My opinion of MY attempt isn't very good. I rinsed them, soaked them for an hour in ice water and then rinsed again before patting dry and adding the rub. The finished...

    Don't worry about it, it all happens. We just pray that all is well for you now. As for the meet, we might as well just plan it for Bear's backyard already and be done with it. I do know of a campground down where I'm from. http://www.sunsationalfamilycampground.com

    BD's Pre Holiday Smoked Turkey. A Foamheart Request

    Thanks BD, I will heed your advice. The only thing that is different is the fact that I don't use charcoal, I use oak and maple for heat and cherry, etc... for smoke. Chad

    I got my expanded metal grate at Lowe's.  Just be sure that you don't ask them, "Where is your expanded metal?"  Those idiots have no clue what it even is and will tell you that they don't have it.  It'll be in the hardware isle at the end, past all of the nuts and bolts.
