Bird Smoking - Pilgrims and Injuns

BigGreenBamaGriller

I'm going to egg a turkey for Thanksgiving this year. I am looking for wood chunk suggestions from those who have done this before.

Thanks,

Chris

Not sure using the term "Injuns" is appropriate! I understand you were joking, but might offend some.

Fruit woods like apple or cherry work.  Don't use much.  Turkey can get overpowered quick. 

Sorry about the devastating loss to Texas A&M.

I've enjoyed pecan...

You can't beat the color that cherry gives the skin -- just err on the side of less rather than more. People are usually not expecting true 'smoked' turkey for their holiday meal. Just get enough on to notice it (1 chunk, maybe 2) but not to overwhelm. I e never used pecan but I hear its a great wood for poultry as well. Cherry just gives it a very rich color that people drool for.

Are skins around here that thin?  A little less on the drama please.  I'm polish and I don't give a rip if a wave of pollock jokes roll through.  I'll start it off, "Why did the pollock oil his brakes?  Because they were squeeking!"  Ouch.  That was hurtful.  Spare me!

Cherry.

@Fred19Flintstone - down here in Texas,we don't tell Polish jokes. We tell the same jokes, we just replace pollocks with Aggies.

I was highly offended. As a person who has been made fun of all his life...

I remember when this was a much more friendlier place. I'm outa here

I'm joking. I'm polish. Very thick skinned...how did the Germans defeat Poland? They marched in backwards and we thought they were leaving.

That's funny

The Polish giraffe walked into a bar and said...the high balls are on me.

Pollack walks into the bar carrying a large piece of asphalt and said... Give me one, and one for the road.

Might as well start attacking Koala bears as well.

A Koala bear visits a hooker in a hotel room.  Afterwards, the Koala starts to leave.  The hooker says - "hey, I'm a hooker, you need to pay me".  The Koala bear looks at her and says "I'm a Koala bear, I don't have to pay you."  Fortunately there's a dictionary on the dresser.  The hooker looks up "hooker" and shows the Koala bear: "hooker - has sex for money".  The Koala bear looks up "Koala bear" and shows her: "Koala bear - eats bush and leaves".

Oh, and pecan works for turkey - just a tiny bit of it.

LMAO....Funny

Skelton walks into a bar and the bartender refuses to serve him...he can't hold his liquor.

Bartender throws a ribeye onto the ceiling and it sticks. He tells the patron...if you can hit the steak with a dart you can have it. The customers says, ...no thanks, the steaks are too high.

Reminds me of an old joke:

  A pollock walks into a bar and the bartender says: "What do you want?" The pollock croaks "water."

Probably should have left well enough alone and not said anything. I guess being an Indian born on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota I felt a little taken a back by the Injun comment. I am a pretty lighthearted person and don't mind joking around about my heritage, but thought the slur might have been over the top. Didn't mean to ruffle feathers and apologize for not just leaving this alone. Hope you all can forgive me and we can carry on about egging.

I'm sorry if I put you off a bit.  IMO, things have sunk into a politically correct swamp where a lot of people are looking for reasons to be offended, a lot of people are walking on eggshells for fear of offending anybody and still other people are busy warning the eggshell walkers that they might have broken a shell (offended somebody).

My take was that the OP was trying to be humorous.  Perhaps it's easy for me because he didn't say "polock".  I wouldn't care if he did.  "Stupid polock", would have been fightin' words though! 

My apologies to the OP for the hyjack.  FWIW, I like apple and cherry.

My comment removed.  Seemed a little harsh.  Sarcasm is hard to express on the interwebs.

I just got a death threat from the International Association of Koala Relations.  They weren't happy about my disparaging tale between a Koala and a hooker.  And they said Koalas aren't "bears".   Yeah, right.  Whatever.
