If you guys and gals haven't seen enough turkey threads already! =) 

I started the morning out by running up to my parents house and starting their large egg for the Egret ham I prepped at their house the day before. After lighting the egg and stabilizing the temp I tossed on the ham. I than had to get back to my house to light the large for the turkey that needed to be done by noon. After putting on my family turkey on I had to wait a few hours before I could fire up the XL. I needed to stagger out turkey times so I could get up to my parents house for Thanksgiving at noon but get back to my house to take off the turkey for a lady in need by 3pm. The Stoker was an absolute savior. It's so nice being able to control the egg when outside the house. I was able to ramp up the egg to finish in time. Here's some pics:

The eggs doing there thing:

Here's the picture of the turkey after cutting out the section where my dog decided to chew on it when not paying attention:

The XL finishing up the two birds:


It was a fun busy filled day. Always nice to get together with family. I'm tapped out with turkey and I have a whole dog bitten turkey to eat yet!

    You deserve a turkey nap Weber.  Nicely done, and extra karma points for cooking for those in need.

    Some impressive cooking/juggling right there. I've had my share of turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes and gravy the past few days and that plated photo is making me crave it all over again. Great job!

    Hey thanks! @Justacookin Happy dog and he didn't get sick. He hasn't had any type of human food other than a crumb he's found here or there. I figured he'd be down and out for a few hours.

    Thanks much! @JohnnyTarheel It was enjoyable. A little challenging with staggering  times but the pit controllers simplified everything a bunch.

    Thanks! @Focker It almost feels like cheating with the pit controllers. I was eating plateful of food 10 miles away and all I had to do is adjust some numbers on my phone to finish up the turkey back at my house. That's not even right! Crazy.

    Thanks! @bgebrent I can't take too much credit as I was chowing down eating grub at my parents house while the Stoker was doing any of the real work with the other two turkeys. All I had to do is grab them off the egg once done. Happy Holiday!

    Thanks! @blasting It only took one phone call to find someone in need. Lot's of families in need this time of year. It only took a few hours of my time and it made her whole day. I'm going to grab a couple more turkeys for Christmas with them being so cheap right now and see if I can get another family to help out.
