    Turkey in a hole

    Hmmmm. Might be interesting. Living in Florida there's no need to order them. Just walk over to my mother-in-law's and grab a few. I might test drive this with some chicken.

    Oven cooking brisket after wrapping

    This pretty well summarizes my thoughts.

    Turkey in a hole

    The way I'm planning.....dig a hole about 3X3X3. Build a large fire in it and put some rocks in with the fire. Once it's burned down to embers take about half the embers/rocks out. Put sand on top of embers left in hole. Put the turkey (in a roasting back, aluminum pan and burlap sack) on...

    Turkey in a hole

    As to the "not sure why you'd want to do this" question it's just curiosity. I ran a race two years ago at a "camp for wayward boys" and the staff mentioned that they do "turkey in a hole" every Thanksgiving. I've been curious about it ever since. I have a son and nephew who are prime digging...

    Turkey in a hole

    Starting to think about Thanksgiving. I've seen several YouTube videos but I'm curious if anyone here has first hand experience cooking Turkey in the ground. I'm planning to try it (along with one cooked in the oven) for Thanksgiving.

    Brisket Burnt Ends

    If you're serving them all together keep them together. Having said that I separate them quite a bit cutting the brisket almost in half....the point end and the end with just flat. I smoke the point (and the flat that is under it) and make pastrami or corned beef out of the section that's just...

    Pastrami question

    I never used tri-tip. I do make pastrami from brisket and love the smoking/steaming method. Let us know how it works to just smoke it to 160.

    Salsa

    This looks good! I'm getting ready to make some salsa today as well. I had buy a "family pack" of guajillo chiles so I'm making salsa to keep my "I promise I'll use them" oath to my wife. Going to roast the tomatoes and onions in the smoker for 20-30 minutes just to give it a little extra flavor.

    Pork belly burnt ends.....on a stick!

    dang those look good. My kids LOVE burnt ends. I've never tried pork belly burnt ends but may need to give it a ride.

    Barbacoa (lots of pics)

    Agreed. I sent it to someone who works in group who said "too much work". For me it's a great excuse to spend a day playing around and (in the very near future) watching football all day.

    Barbacoa (lots of pics)

    Thanks Dave. I'd love to have it in fried tortillas but don't have a fryer. I like the look of yours. May give that a try next time.

    Barbacoa (lots of pics)

    I've been trying to find a good way to cook barbacoa and think I finally found one. It took trips to a few different stores (the chiles weren't easy to find) but it was worth it. I got the recipe from https://meatwave.com/blog/smoked-and-braised-mexican-beef-barbacoa-recipe. This calls for 7...

    2nd Brisket Success!

    hacked or not....that brisket looks great. You have a Nole and a Gator agreeing on it so know it's true!

    Newbie from the North

    As JC suggested it's a good idea to spatchcock the turkey. It's simple to do if you've never tried it. It makes it a lot easier to get consistent temperature. I did one one the smoker for Thanksgiving and it turned out great.

    ANOTHER first Brisket...

    You might want to consider injecting the flat. They're a lot less fatty and tend to dry out. The point is a lot more forgiving. If you want to cheat a little (which may be worth it if this is your first brisket) you may want serve your guests the point. It's MUCH easier to cook and has, in...
