It’s on like Donkey Kong!!... Thanksgiving 2020 - show us whatcha got

chucktee

Only the second one I've ever cooked.  The color looks good.  Taste test isn't for a couple more hours.  (I gave myself plenty of margin for error, remembering the first time around as my family waited patiently and I nervously watched temps and the clock.)  11 pounds.  3 hours, 15 minutes at an average grid temperature of 275.

Mad Max Ice applied! The butter paste thing got sort of gloppy but I’m going with it!

@chucktee looks great, your grid was 275F?  What was your dome temp?

Sweet potato casserole, dressing and the dreaded green bean casserole are all prepped. Just put Tom in the oven

Remembered to grab a pic of this stuffed pork loin before delivering to the small local fire house:

Loaded with provolone, minced garlic and onion, spinach, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes.  
Happy Thanksgiving!

@4TheGrillOfIt Beautiful bird, do mind sharing your technique beyond the spatchcock? I love the color.

Janell named it “Clarise” from silence of the lambs. “It puts the butter on its skin” has been said more times than prefer to admit. We are sick.

Thanks!  The dome tracked about 10 degrees higher.  Probably.  I have to admit I don't watch the dome temp as closely after I get the cook started.

Turkey is done- and right on time!

It brings tears to my eyes to see all this awesomeness going down. 

This is what eggheads, and BBQ, are all about. Cooking your heart out, for your loved ones.  

To all the pinheads who whine about the forum, folks on here, whatever... suck it.

Happy T-Day @caliking  and the rest of this band of misfits.  

Good lord. I wish I could bake a loaf that looked that good.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and yours, as well, @ryantt.

If it were only safer on here they could post all their amazing cooks!

Sprayed with Canola oil and used this rub:

I also injected with Honey Bird Booster.

Just the 5 of us this year so breast only (even though I'm a dark meat guy).

mini pecan pies (a tad overdone, but Pops said they’re good)

Cornish hens are almost done

Caliqueen is off to make the sides and dessert swap with our friends.

Ashamed to say we oven roasted the boneless turkey “roll”.  Food turned out great and ate too much.  Sweet potato creme brûlée tasted amazing, repeat for next year with more modifications. Made grandma’s homemade rolls, mashed taters, cranberry relish, and green beans.  I posted some of this on the original WAYDN thread but will repeat here. Pumpkin pie later.

So I forgot that I really want the dark meat toward the back, and I was like “no way am I going to be able to lift this flimsy pan with all the vegetables and chicken stock in it. “. Then I realized I could just rotate the adjustable rig. Hooray for the AR!!!

Oh wow, that's a great turn out. I think most guys are cooking their turkey at 325F to 350F ... so I was wondering about the lower temperature you used.  How did it turn out?
