***BBQ Redux Redux thread - All outdoor cooking except whole hog***

Well, what will you be cooking on Saturday?

 

The ham I was supposed to cook last week. Looking forward to it.

 

Didn't know they made those in mini can versions!

 

Doing a whole chicken, golden potatoes (to be mashed), and baked beans tonight for dinner

Chicken brined over night and is spathcocked. Most excited for the potatoes tbqh

 

Skipped the beans

Use a maple butter concoction to baste the chicken, won't do it again. Skin didn't crisp up. But my god the chicken was awesome. And the potatoes were the perfect complement

Spoiler

 

Biggest skirt or flank ive ever cooked

 

I feel sorry for your wife with those mitts.

 

For a pellet grill, am impressed with its sear ability.

 

I caved: I’m now a multi-grill household and have added a 36” Blackstone. This may seem like no big deal, but Mrs. Tamland is vegetarian so the sell was “grilling vegetables.” #noragrets

 

Honest to god don’t know how he types on a phone

 

Degausser 's favorite song from Daft Punk is Digital Love

It's mine too

 

are those yucca fries?

 

African yam, but I did them similar.

 

that alone takes it from "what are we looking at here" to "my man"

 

Wife planned a dinner for her ladies church group at our house today. Two of the husbands said na fuck that, Jason is cooking so I'm going too, so it turned into a couples event. That made me feel good. Smoked a turkey and fried a turkey to not disappoint. Really need to cook turkey more throughout the year. So easy and so good.

 

Who's Jason?

 

Serving turkey five days before thanksgiving is certainly a choice.

 

Counterpoint
Turkey kicks ass

 

I'm assuming it was a friendsgiving of sorts

 

It was a Jason cooks for the girls night until some other husband's heard about it and ruined it

 

Classic Jason episode

 

i should do this with my cat, too

 

We're leaving Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with family back home. Not sure what else i should have cooked for Thanksgiving dinner with friends here? The ladies did all the traditional Thanksgiving sides.

 

It was a Thanksgiving dinner for her ladies church group but they ended up bringing husbands too. I guess i should have said that, figured it was assumed.

 

I understood

 

you know what they say about assuming..

 

have two currently going right now

prime rib for thanksgiving

 

filters and whatnot

 

Alright boys, favorite smoked turkey recipe?

 

You want it to taste fresh, so the most important first step is don’t start thawing it until the morning of Thanksgiving

 

bourbon brine for a day, smoke 275° over pecan and brush last hour with a maple syrup butter glaze

been my go to for 20 or so years and never misses

 

Cajun injected fried turkey with a creole butter rub >>>>> smoked turkey

imo

 

Got a recipe for the brine and glaze? Been trying to figure out what I want to do this year.

 

I’m doing a brine the day before. Morning of injecting with Cajun butter and then using meat church voodoo rub on it. Came out incredible last year. Even the non turkey eaters were going back for seconds.

 

The rub is where I'm conflicted. Traditional bbq poultry or something else? The brine and smoke are a given

 

I always go voodoo at this point. Never had any complaints.

 

Microwaving it locks in the freshness. Just make sure to foil the turkey first.

 

Defrost in the deep fryer in the garage, oil at 350.
For some reason I find it works fastest if you keep the garage door shut

 

Get you a food safe bucket
Put the turkey in the bucket with this


For a minimum 24 hours before smoke

Take out bird after starting smoker
Spatchcock it
Rinse with water hose
Dry
Sprinkle hard-core carnivore Cajun seasoning all over the place
Put on smoker till done
