Title: Getting ready for Fall
Post by: dk117 on September 14, 2020, 09:52:41 PM
Reverse sear.   Three days for the turkey legs in the brine.   Total of about 7 hours on the pit.   Corn soaked in water and then smoked for 90 mins.   Maybe 10 mins on the gasser for both, 5 and flip.   Turned out nicely.

I've got so many things to cook outside but can't get enthused enough to go out and fight the smoke infiltrating from the south. :puke:

My son lives in a suburb of Portland, and he can barely see the sun.

Yes it's been a bit of a train wreck the last week here in the Portland Metro area.

That meal appears to be something served to a royal family with peasants hovering about.

I posted awhile back about getting leathery skin when I smoked turkey legs. How do you avoid it? I went back to using my charcoal grill for turkey to avoid it.

Normally I'd just not eat the skin.  This time I took two extra steps and it turned out good.   First I sprayed with canola oil cooking spray, before the 7 hour smoke.  Then the 10 min sear at the end.  Nice crisp and edible skin.

Don't stand in the sun when you cook outside.  :rotf:

The turkey legs and corn is a good combination and looks good! Has been a long time since I have done a whole turkey or even turkey breast. Wife reminded me I have been promising chicken wings off the grill for quite some time.
