My lovely wife announced last week, that she volunteered me , to smoke a turkey for a co-worker's last day.
Not a problem I replied, and after some back and forth... we settled on two whole breasts e\ather than a single bird.
While shopping, I was thinking about what else to smoke, for OUR dinner, as long as I was making the effort, and I remembered Jeff's post about the chuck roast...
So there I was... prepping 2 birds (thin coat of olive oil, and some special rub) and a chuck roast(thin veneer of yellow mustard, and a different special rub)
Fired up the smoker.... with a combo of Apple and Cherry wood , and a little bit of Mesquite (gotta use whatcha got), cranked up the tunes...grabbed a cold drink, and a book... I was set
300 degrees (I like a crisp skin on the birds, probes in all of the meats, and let the smoke do it's thing
Turkeys look good.... but they ain't for me
Chuck roast looked GREAT before wrapping and resting
Meat candy.... a lot easier than doing a brisket, and with an empty nest, no waste
too ad you can't smell this
Not a bad way, to spend a Tuesday afternoon
