I remembered to let the bird sit overnight uncovered. Going raised direct and it's already spatched. Will use back bone and neck bone to attempt gravy. Other than cleaning bathrooms, I think that's my only responsibility today! More pics of I remember as the cook progresses. I have a pre made turkey rub that I will use. We're hosting my parents.Large, Medium, MiniMax, 36" Blackstone

The smoker is lit. 5 spatchcocked turkeys. I started prepping birds and sides yesterday. I didn't finish with prep until about 12:30 this morning. Finally the fun part of the cook where you get to play with a fire and see things come together. I wasn't seeing it after peeling and mashing 25lbs of potatoes yesterday. I'm hoping yesterday's work is today's payoff.

This may be one of the last photos of me on actual film that exists in this crazy mixed up world. I would be pretty happy with that bird right now!
I'm talking to the bird.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

It is hard to discount the fire and forget nature of a BGE cook, especially when also dealing with an uncooperative Mother Nature. Happy Thanksgiving.

following the Mad Max turkey cook method left me with a Turkey that is done 4hrs early lolSouth of Columbus, Ohio.

getting out a cooler, hopefully I can salvage it and maybe push everyone up a hour.

You could carve, package, and reheat with the sous vide. I had a spare 6th turkey that I was planning on smoking, carving, and reheating sous vide on Christmas. (Unfortunately it didn't pass the sniff test. I've never had a turkey have a scent before. It didn't smell spoiled but I didn't want to chance it.)"The pig is an amazing animal.

I think I am only sacrificing the crispy skin. I don't have a lot of skin eaters in my crew so hopefully this works out ok

Yeah, i brought a couple turkeys out to my aunt's house a few years back. I don't think we ate for a couple hours after they came off. They were still insanely hot after a couple hours.

Birds finishing up. (Bottom bird was smaller and put on about an hour later as it is being served later in the day.)

Only 6 of us this year at our celebration. Made a turkey breast and four turkey thighs.
The breast was done Aaron Franklin style with Yardbird rub. The thighs rubbed with Two Gringos Chupacabra Chickalicious rub.
Transporting it across town for our lunch get together. -
@alaskanassasin - you are correct in that the only loss with the FTC is the crispy skin. You may need a big cooler. You can completely wrap in a couple of layers of HDAF and layer with several towels and get to the carve and serve time if too big for a cooler. FWIW-Happy Thanksgiving.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks Cap. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and just put it in the cooler in the aluminum pan I cooked it in. Towel on bottom and a few on top, I should have cross referenced recipes for a more accurate cook time. Happy Thanksgiving

“Gumbo” gravy… basically gumbo without the animals in it. Had to “curry” it up with some cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg. Strained the solids out afterwards.SV flan. I may dig into one shortly. You know… for quality control.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
