OT - What are you doing right now?

Delivering Pepper Stout Beef to the local firehouse (figure well off the T'day norm).

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I pride myself on always reading the instructions, and doing what I'm told.
But, I'm pretty sure Pilsbury Crescent Rolls should be rolled up from the SECOND-longest side of the triangle, not the longest.

Thanksgiving provided by work

@DuckDogDr - nice looking spread but where's the fork??  

YukonRon

Last night's meal.

@YukonRon - I am quite confident that I have never seen ribs presented in such an elegant setting-definitely way above my pay-grade.  That coupled with the prime rib you have running now-no wonder the fence.  Gotta keep us pedestrians at least at arm's length.  
Edit:  Happy Thanksgiving!

You my dear friend, will never be kept out, you ever drop in, you should be worried about being kept in.
Happy Thanksgiving my friend. All the best to you.

Waiting for the apple pie to get done!

Spent the afternoon with my beautiful Grandmother.  She's a strong widow and 83 years of age and still going strong.  Hugging her and telling her I love her is what the holidays are all about. 
Cherish these holidays and meals while they're around.  Some of the last "best generation" around.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Eggheads.  Back home and time for a beer or 10.  As one of my fav's on this site says:  Time to enter low earth orbit.

Cheers!

@YEMTrey I don't want to be a Debbie downer, but I can't agree more. There's been a lot of death around me the last month. Enjoy your family and your life while you can. 

YEMTrey

Sorry to hear this @theyolksonyou family.  Hang in there, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

@YEMTrey not my family directly, but lots of hurting friends/aquaintances.

The ham didn't get enough of my attention at lunch. Remedying that. King's, Swiss, and spicy brown.

This cake also felt neglected.

@pgprescott he's very happy with it! He's always cooked thanksgiving turkey in his kettle. He said this bird was the juiciest one he's ever cooked. I had today with my in-laws, but will be doing thanksgiving round 2 tomorrow with my folks and brother and sisters families! Lucky for him all the knowledge I've built up the last year on the forum and my 4+ years of egging translates seamlessly to the summit :-)

One of the most underrated things from Costco is their pumpkin pie. That thing was delicious, huge and only $5.99.

Finally calming down from a new but bad bag of charcoal.  Well known brand but not the charcoals fault.
I cooked a brisket yesterday using it and it was great.  Today I started at 11:00 getting the egg ready for a standing rib roast and dumped in more charcoal from the bag from yesterday.  Took a while to light then sparked for a long time.  I was about to put the Woo on for indirect and happened to smell something like ammonia.  Waited a while and the smell still didn't go away.

Long story short - our neighbors dog has evidently been visiting our garage and likes the charcoal more than I do.  Yesterdays cook was from the top of the bag only and todays was from the middle and bottom where the little sh!t got to it.

Had to start the KJ jr and used another un-stained bag - cost about an hour of time and a lot of scotch.

Just one of life's experiences I guess.  Had a good meal with the family and will clean up outside tomorrow.
Neighbor will be gifted some very special charcoal to try.

@possumtrot as bad as I feel about it, I'm laughing my a$$ off. Sorry. That definitely a unique problem.

Well that's a pisser!

I got zero pics, I suck.  Two 14 lb birds this year, one spatched on the egg at 390ish w/coffee rub and ton of fresh sage/Rosemary/thyme butter under the skin, second fried.  Both finished within 5 min. of each other, so I won the timing game.  Two of my best, everyone happy, **** ton of leftovers. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

@Hans61   Have you seen this?  I've got the 27" and the slow and seer, so I found it kinda interesting.

It's nice, but the video above didn't make me feel I was missing anything.  The 27" kettle is recent for me - I really like it - the smoke profile is more towards that of my stickburner than the egg.

Just got my eggs for breakfast. 
And pulled out some leftovers

Thinking about starting a Kickstarter campaign for an e-cigarette holster that attaches to your belt, with a large handle and Velcro.  When the e-cigarette explodes into flames you can yank it off and toss quickly.
A phone holder for Samsung phones soon to follow.
