Christmas Cooks

[JDLones]

Hey guys and gals. It's been a while since I've posted anything. It's been a little crazy around here for the past few months. Anyway, I wanted to share two cooks I did for Christmas.

First, I did a turkey on the rotisserie. It was a 13 pounder, and I used the Simon & Garfunkel rub mixed with olive oil to make a wet rub. Here it is rubbed, trussed and ready to spin.


I smoked it with just a couple of small wild cherry chunks.


A few hours later and it was ready. I was quite happy with the results. I've done a few of these now and they seem to get better with every one. I guess I should do them more often huh?


I didn't get any pics after I carved it. It didn't last all that long. It must have been good.

The second cook was a standing rib roast. I had the butcher cut the bones off for me, and cooked them separately for a snack for the cook.

I trimmed it, rolled it, tied it and rubbed it. I simply used the MontrealSteak seasoning at my wife's request. Here it is on the grill with the ribs.


Again, I was quite happy with the result. I used just a tiny bit of hickory on this one. There wasn't much talk at first around the dinner table, so again, it must have been good. I enjoyed it.




Oh, and my little snack was pretty tasty too.


Thanks for looking, and I hope everyone has a very happy New Years!!

That turkey looks pretty awesome. How's that Simon and Garfunkle rub?

I like it a lot, especially on turkey. Granted I haven't tried anything else, but it works very, very well.

Looks mighty fine!  I've got a rib roast in the fridge that I rubbed yesterday that's gonna get cooked for today's football game after I take my annual New Years Day dip in the Atlantic.

You have fun with that, Captain!! The dip, that is. I'm sure the roast will be awesome.

Great looking cooks.  I haven't done a turkey on my roto yet but like the idea I saw in your pic of placing the baskets pacman style on the darkmeat end of the bird!  Will probably do it that way for chickens too!!!!
