Coy, come out for a herf and bring a fryer.

Its cold there now, you come here! Besides its Vegas (O' joy

) rode the bike home tonight little after mid-night with a long sleeve shirt and the sleeves pulled up. Perfect bbq weather, I will smoke some meat and fry a turkey!

Nothing like a traditional with the stuffing inside and the fixens on the outside for me and the family

We usually do a brine turkey, but this year I am trying my hand at a smoked turkey.

I brine and smoke. Last year was my first and the family has "requested"

that it become a tradition. They actually have threatened my life if said turkey is not provided. We will continue to have a traditional oven baked turkey along side of mine.
My favorite turkey though is at my wife's family reunion. Its over a weekend and the whole family participates in making apple butter. Peeling 30 bushels of apples and slicing, cooking in 30 gallon copper kettle over open wood fire for 12-14 hours, and then jarring. Anyway, they cook 5 huge turkeys on a rotisserie over an open maple wood fire. The rotisserie is 6-7 feet long. The brine in just apple cider; then salt, pepper, lemon, and orange on the outside and inside cavity. In the words of Newan, "Its the wood that makes it good." I'll try to post a pic.
