It begins with a 22+lb. Tom.  Simple salt n sugar Brines.  Kristin added herbs and spices, but I do not know what!  Lets see. 6pm EST on 11/21/17.  Bird will go on pit at about 10am 11/23/1...so about 40 hour brine, with a 3% solution...

[Kristin Meredith]

Bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary

What's in the other bucket. ?

Its a pork butt I boned and am curing with TQ.  I have heard people speak of buck board bacon.  I have never tried it, and this is just a simple cure, with a little pickling spices.  If it works, will have .99/lb bacon and not $4.00...

What's in the other bucket. ?

I started the Bird on the Memphis Pro, but both Kristin and I agreed that we have missed the smell that a cooking oven Turkey creates through out the whole house.  So after 2 hours of Hardwood smoke, into the oven it goes!

Looking good already. My house smells like bread. Someone else always makes the turkey.

Here’s my first thanksgiving turkey. Turned out pretty good thanks to all of the input I got on this forum. Happy thanksgiving to all.  [ Invalid Attachment ]

I have to stop looking. It all looks so good.

Problem of living on West coast...Every one is eating before you. We are still 1 hr out from feast..

 All this and no-one will be putting any weight!  Heck,even the string on Bentleys turkey looks good. We always enjoyed sucking on the strings. That is what we did waiting on the bird to be carved carved and served.

I have much to be thankful for!

Headed out to Amish country for ours


Had the gathering in a heated garage so my wife's grandmother did not have to travel

gtsum2, I would prefer your color over mine!

All of this looks outstanding, gtsum2, the platter of carved looks really good. Very moist and juicy. Nicely done by everyone. We had ours last weekend, tonight we are having chili cheese dogs.
