    Thanksgiving Turkey with TBS...not the TV channel.

    That last photo makes it look like your chimney damper isn't all the way open.  Open it as wide as you can get it.  If you close it off you can get bitter build up on the meat.  That will improve your results even more.

    You don't need to be a lawyer to get this legal joke.

    I just stumbled onto this and figured people here would get a kick out of it.  Apparently this all really happened.  The first letter: And then the official response from the Cleveland Browns: Advantage: Cleveland Browns.

    Help! Turkey already brown

    I'm no pro at this, but I think taking the IT of the legs to 180 is more a matter of personal preference than it is a safety issue.   I mean, if 165 will kill off the bacteria in the white meat to make it safe, why does the bacteria in the dark meat need to go to 180 before it dies? Someone...

    Thread for anyone to post Thanksgiving Q view

    Also, once again I give my huge thanks to Jeff, who I think is the guy that started this site.  At a minimum, he's the one who developed that rub and sauce recipe that have blown the minds of my whole family and all my friends.  I hope he's making a few bucks off it.   And a huge thanks to...

    Thread for anyone to post Thanksgiving Q view

    So I figured it would be a good idea to have a thread where anyone can post Thanksgiving Q view, whether they wanted to start a new thread over it or not.  I didn't see one, so I thought I'd be the one to start it. I've been up since 0dark:30 and the smoker is gradually coming up to temp.  It's...

    has anyone smoked a turkey in your fireplace chimney?

    I can't believe I just fell for lmgtfy.  Man I love that site.

    has anyone smoked a turkey in your fireplace chimney?

    I've got serious doubts.  For one, cooking temps would have to be difficult to control within acceptable ranges. Two, you're going to get tons of drippings down your flue.  I can't see that as a good thing.  At a minimum, that would make big mess. Three (and this is a pure spitball guess), the...

    Ornamental pear as smoke wood?

    So a friend of my Mom's just had an ornamental pear tree fall over due to heavy snow recently. Does anybody know if this would make good smoke wood? Mostly I'm concerned with safety. Second, I'm wondering if this would be significantly different than any other pear wood, which I've heard is...

    Newbie Needs Step by Step Instructions for Smoking a Turkey in a 30" Masterbuilt Electric

    On the subject of not drying out the breast meat, don't rely on those plastic pop-up thermos the birds come with.  I made that mistake last weekend, and I think it brought the IT to 183 before it popped.  The white meat was drier than I wanted it to be.  Lesson learned. Do you just use one of...

    Dutch oven clean-up

    I joke, but I was car camping in Yellowstone last year with some friends.  I did a big dutch oven potato meal, and some dude volunteered to go clean the dutch oven.  I was just happy that someone was volunteering to help with clean up, so I asked if he knew how to clean a dutch oven and he told...

    Dutch oven clean-up

    The key to cleaning a dutch oven, inside and out, is dish soap.  Lots and lots of dish soap. Just kidding.  I just hope I didn't cause too many aneurysms with that comment. These are all solid ideas if you ask me.

    Newbie Needs Step by Step Instructions for Smoking a Turkey in a 30" Masterbuilt Electric

    If you are going to brine your turkey, make sure you don't buy a pre-injected, self basting bird.  It will be one salty mother if you brine one that's already been injected. Also, I said it in another thread, but I'm a big believer that you don't need to go low and slow to get excellent turkey...

    Signal Box Build

    How critical is it to sheet over the rockwool?  I've been thinking about insulating my Chargriller for a while, but I don't know what would be the best material.  This sounds like it could be a really good solution.

    Breast or Whole Turkey

    I'd probably want to bring the dark meat to 165 just to be safe.  That's the FDA's recommendation.  You might be able to get away with 155, but I'm not sure.  This can be a subject of pretty intense controversy, so do your own research and figure out what you think is best.  My thinking is that...

    Breast or Whole Turkey

    Personally, I'd go whole bird.  My first smoke ever was a whole bird, and it was a huge success.  I want the variety of both white and dark meat.  But that's just me.
