Turkey came out tender and tasty. Everyone was pleased. I made an apple pie and my daughter made a pumpkin pie, for dessert with ice cream.

Since we done eat a lot of the dark meat and daughter really doesnt eat turkey, we just did a breast. It was brined for 2 days then into the MES with orange chips

Since we had 17 people from 4 different states at the PA house for a few days, we started with some italian.

Tray of meatballs from home ground pork, beef and veal.

Then made the fresh gravy (OK sauce) from the San Marzano tomatoes with fresh basil, parsley and sausage.

For the main event we cooked a 24 pounder inside and I spun the 15 pounder below on the kettle, both brined of course. As usual the smoked went the fastest.
