Wow, now theres some names from the old days!!! Me,well since I know what the cooking is like if I drive to Phoenix to visit brother & family I will be staying here and making 3 diff. types of snack sticks and jerky.Prolly grill a steak and crab legs-with a couple sides,once things get into the smokers. Happy Thanksgiving all-please be safe.

Happy holidays to all here! Ive got a 20 pounder thats going on the UDS. Debating spatchcock. As far as sides I'm making a 2 dozen cheese, mac and cheese, well sort of.

And one of my favs roasted red taters in olive oil and spices, chopped up and turkey gravy from drippings i suck up during the cooking process if i dont spatchcock. I have some sourdough starter in the fridge, thinking about some bisquits as well. Either way I'll be a happy mammal!

BURP!!!

Sounds like a lot of good times will be had over the next few days.

As for us, this we'll be our second year hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at our house which I love because it means leftovers for me. I will be making a Pumpkin Roll tomorrow. Then Thursday I am deep frying a turkey and smoking a ham. I will also be making deviled eggs, sausage & apple dressing and cole slaw. My wife is making corn pudding, sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes & gravy. The in-laws will be bringing some dishes as well. We'll eat about 2:00PM then watch football and eat some more.

Is anybody as hungry as I am right now?

Sounds like a lot of great plans for a lot of good people. Just remember to have fun and be safe (in other words, don't burn down the house or blow up the turkey).

for me and my family its a great day to be with as much family and friends as you can handle , being Indian i love Thanksgiving but i also love to cook and smoke sooooooooo, one bird in the deep frier, one bird in the smoker and to keep him company a sprial cut ham with him and also some potatoes and maybe sneek some bologna in there just to fill it up !!

Then i also have the long weekend to fill my time so maybe a brisket for the football games over the weekend !!!

May all of you fellow SMOKERS have a great and safe holiday !!!!

And when you sit down to your meal include our military in your prayers !

It has been revived from the past. I really miss some of the people who posted in it whom I never see on here anymore. Thank god Cowgirl is still with us and posting. We lost at least 3 of those people, 2 were banned and one passed on to a better place.
We Miss ya Terry!

desertlites ...... apparently the old days are only 2 years ago for you. LMAO

To answer the question, We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home last month ( Canadian Thanksgiving on 12 of Oct ) with kinfolk. I did a rotisserie Turkey on a spit. In my opinion it is superior to a smoked bird..... I know , I know. but that is my opinion and I'm never wrong.

We had all the traditional trimmings , apple pie, pumpkin pie, raisin pie, queen of hearts tarts and macadamia fruit cake. The meal finished off with with a rum soaked pudding dessert with a hot butter rum sauce that was to die for.

Well, thus year we're staying home and Gloria is in charge of ALL the cooking. I'll be smoking a big bird for her son on Sunday... I'll get even with her yet.
