    Turkey soup from carcus?

    Gotta give some props on this Turkey Gumbo recipe.  The day after Thanksgiving I took the turkey carcass from the day before's smoked bird, broke up some of the leg bones to expose marrow then roasted all the bones for a few hours.  Then I made a stock out of the roasted bones.  I put the stock...

    quick - need some advice...

    I would bring it up to 275 or so and then leave it.  It will cool down but probably not under 150.  You are close to being done anyhow so I dont see the harm.

    Bad Luck with Thanksgiving Turkey

    Good Luck.  Make it a habit to keep cajun seasoning in the cupboard, it's good on anything, 'cept for maybe ice cream.

    New Mods -Need Opinions Please

    I have done some mods to my NB offset and am a little worried about materials and introducing chemicals into the smoke in the cooking chamber.  I used some zinc nuts and bolts for posts to create a new grate level - will there be any toxin introduced into the cooking chamber by using zinc? ...

    How many turkeys on one pit?

    JB - Check out this guide from bbqinstitute.com: http://www.bbqinstitute.com/SmokerModifications.pdf Additionally, I would recommend the following: - Build a 5 sided charcoal box out of expanded metal to fit into your firebox.  Raw metal, not painted or treated. This keeps coal and wood...

    Boudin Casing Question

    There's got to be a good joke somewhere here..............   Thanks to all for the feedback.  Coincidentally, eman  - I just printed out your Turkey Gumbo recipe from another post.  That looks like a winner.

    Boudin Casing Question

    I picked some pre-cooked boudin sausage from the grocery store the other day and thought I would throw it in the smoker towards the end of the turkey smoke on Thursday.  I'm curious how the smoke will penetrate the casing.  Will it?  Maybe I should puncture the casing? Thanks.

    Finish on tuning plates?

    So I'm going to place some tuning plates in the cooking chamber of my NB offset.  I have available to me for free some 5 inch wide 1/4" thick plate material, but it has a prime coat on it, not raw steel.  In an effort to not introduce any chemicals into the cooking chamber environment when...

    How many turkeys on one pit?

    JB, I have the same New Braunfels Smoker and have smoked a few single turkeys with it.  I think that with two birds laying down in the smoker, the one might be too close to the heat source and may end up getting scorched or dried out on whatever parts are near the firebox.  If you have too...

    Brine at Butterball?

    My wife bought the Thanksgiving Turkey yesterday at the store and I had forgotten to tell her to make sure she bought one that reads it is a "Natural Turkey" as I am going to brine it before I smoke it next week.  She bought a Butterball, and I believe they add some sort of flavoring solution to...

    Looking to Learn

    Neat Forum! I have just jumped in to / invested-in the smoked meat adventure, and this looks to be a great resource. I have tried to do a little homework to get myself set-up. The NB Hondo was about the best in my low price range so I picked one up last weekend, and made a few mods based on my...
