Dropped a 16 pounder on the stick burner at 5:30. Looking to pull and rest at 155.

Coffee and bourbon cream in the cup.

Happy Thanksgiving lads! One of the best days to be a Dad or a Dood all year.

If you pull at 155°, will it climb to 165° while resting?

Yea, of course a little toddy or cocktail in the morning is a must! Having coffee with some Southern Comfort here.

That’s the plan. Keep it from drying out.

What temp y'all smoke turkey at? I do 325, but I've always had 12 to 15 pound birds. Got a 23 pounder this year. Thinking like 5-6 hours.

We do our family's Thanksgiving on Friday so the other halves can go to other homes and not be driving around all day. Plus it gives us the luxury of having a chill day and get prepped for Friday, lessens the stress of busting arse to cook for 25 people.

Day drinking is trashy; Morning drinking is where it's at. Espolon and shitty low-carb beer for me. Cheers, all. It's a great day!

Woke up at 3 seasoned the turkey, injected it and put it on the smoker. Sitting at 135 right now and looking great

I put one on the pit about 3 hours ago and just dropped the second one in the oil.

fricked around drinking and let the oil get to 450 while heating up. I let it get down to around 425 and said screw it and put the bird in. It settled immediately at 350 where I'll keep it. Should be a fun experiment.

It looked crispy from here. Got any oil in your rub?
