Title: Please don't kick me out.....Thanksgiving pics.
Post by: LightningBoldtz on November 27, 2014, 05:06:10 PM
My Thanksgiving turkey was not on a Weber this year but on the Kamado.

Some of my daily highlights

I ran the turkey for about 3 hours a 250 to 275, it was very good.

Bright and early about 6:30 which turned out to be WAY to early but all was well (more on that)

Loaded with Lump apple and cherry wood.

I put it in a foil pan, covered it with aluminum foil and out it in a cooler, @ 2:30 it was still piping hot.

I tried a few dishes that I have never made before.
Cheesy corn casserole

I did use a weber today, it was the 18 OTG to smoke some cheese.

Ummmm......I have a kamado too and use it occasionally....I gotta say that bird looks beauty L.B. but those pies look perfect too. Had no idea you were a baker too. What temp were you running your cooker at and was the skin crisp?

Mike, I am a foodie and try to expand my horizons all the time.

RE temp and the skin, first, I am no a skin person, I don't eat it anyway. One thing I did was put the turkey in the frig on Sunday, that dried the skin out a lot.
Running it at 250 to 275 really gave it a nice smokey flavor.  Something I was looking to accomplish.

Better to be done early.  Everything looks great.  I keep going thru all these Thanksgiving pics and I'm getting really hungry.  Never get tired of looking WKC members cooks.
