    Reheating a butt

    throw one in the crock pot and forget about it. It'll heat up fine.

    best beer for BBQ

    Where to begin... I like more porters and dark beers with my smoked foods. The Sam Adams Honey Porter is pretty good. I second the Young's Double Choc Stout as well. Saranac makes a fantastic caramel porter as part of their 12 beers of Christmas. I buy the 12 pack just for that beer. They...

    Using leftover turkey - Please share your ideas and recipes!

    I always do a pot of soup, but one other favorite which we had tonight is turkey salad sandwiches. You could also do hot turkey sandwiches with gravy on top and we like to do quesadillas with whatever leftover meat we have.

    That looks pretty juicy. Did you brine it?

    I'm familiar with that fire! :-D Good job on the birds. Now you know that grease is a killer!

    First Turkey results...

    Sounds good. Did you invent the brine yourself, or did you find a recipe for it? I ask because my last brine was a little too salty.

    What the heck was that?

    That stinks. (literally and figuratively! :-)) I wonder if they used a nasty brine? I'm just all about feedback. If you're making crap, I'm going to tell you! :-D Was your bird pretty good?

    What the heck was that?

    To be completely fair, you might find out who the person was and tell them what you encountered. He/she may have had a bad bird or something and might want to know for safety reasons. Glad you had the spare! Hopefully noone at the gross one.

    deer help

    I agree with bacon. I can't wait for a tenderloin this year. Give it a little marinade, then wrap in bacon and smoke till it's pretty firm. (I don't measure temps so much on beef and venison)

    I got a gobbler on the smoker and need a quicky answered

    The crumb-snatchers look happy! In winds like that, I just smoke for a few hours, then throw it in the oven. It's still great!

    fatty abts ????

    GSG, I'm having a hard time picturing your proposal? I've been making my ABTs lately with anaheim chilis, stuffed with a smoked fatty, cream cheese and sharp cheddar, wrapped in bacon. How would you wrap an abt in a fatty?

    finger food turkey

    Brine makes it better! Just go slow on the salt!

    biggest bird yet

    If it slows too much, I say smoke for a few hours, then finish in the oven. It'll turn out great. I smoked a brined turkey for work last year and it was a hit. It just sucked smoking a turkey all night, then taking it to work the next morning at 530!

    how to package smoked brisket?

    If he's getting it tomorrow, I'd just put it in heavy duty foil whole. He can throw it in the oven in the foil to heat it up, then slice it. Just don't lose any of the juice.
