You boys putting anything on the smoker for Christmas? For the first year, we are staying home for Christmas Day. I immediately took control of the menu. Looking for ideas. Thinking about doing a brisket.

What you got?

I hope you don’t plan on doing any singing or chanting at your permitted outdoor gathering.

Well of course we will be singing hit Christmas classics such as "We Wish You a Merry Government Sanctioned Christmas" and "Little Vaccine Boy".

My father in law wants me to smoke a turkey. He’s growing quite fond of my smoking and he never had smoked turkey. I’d rather fry the turkey just so I don’t have to wake up so dang early to start smoking it. I’m not a fan of smoked turkey. I’d rather do a picnic.

If you end up doing this. I recommend that you brine and spatchcock it. Good luck.

Was thinking a Turkey and a couple of pork tenderloins. Just looking for a good brine recipe for the tenderloins.

Turkeys do not take long to smoke, at all. My brother in law did one for Thanksgiving. Think he did a 2 day brine and smoked it for 4 hours, until it got up to temp. He didn't use a lot of wood chunks either. Think he said he only put 1 chunk in there, because some people don't like smoke flavor. It was excellent.

They earned it. Not the best year for the bottom line but they worked their tails off and took a lot of stress off me.

I'd love to smoke a turkey after a good 24 hours in my brine, but my wife HAS to have a spiral sliced ham for that holiday. So, ham it is.

We do fried turkey on Thanksgiving, so she really doesn't want another turkey so soon.

I will brine a brisket and use the thicker end for corned beef and the thinner part will go on my smoker for pastrami to have as our New Years Day's meal, along with smothered cabbage, homemade rye bread and a small pot of blackeye peas.

Have you tried a double smoked ham?

Basically just take a spiral cut ham, toss the glaze it comes with - season and smoke it to warm it back up, and glaze with your own like the one in the link.

Having Friendsmas(?) at the house next Wednesday. I have a small gress fed brisket I am going to smoke this weekend, then cut up for burnt ends that afternoon. Might just go ahead and throw some steaks and pork chops on with them for the main course.

I've been requested to do a smoked fish dip so I'll for sure do that. Will also probably buy a stuffed turkey or 2-3 stuffed chickens from Heberts and smoke those too.
