The holidays are fast approaching my friends. That said, I'm getting ready. This is my favorite time of the year. From now until New Years is when I really like to kick back and just cook. Starting tonight, the units are coming up to temp and online. Going to let Unit #1 idle at 225 degrees all night. Got 50 pounds of turkey and 40 pounds of ham going in it about mid day tomorrow. Once these small items are cooked and out of the way, the real cooking will begin. Unit #1 will run constant from now until New Years. I want to wish all of you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving my friends. Hope that yall are healthy and happy. Here is Unit #1 coming to life and breathing very heavy oak and pecan smoke.

I am looking forward to this "cooking season" with you, it will be a joy to see what all you come up with. I wish I could ride and I would stop in your neck of the woods and visit. I'll be back through there in a few weeks.Lenoir, N.C.

I'm fretting over egging my first bird and then I read this post. Wish I had 1/10 of your cooking experience. Enjoy the holidays. Sure sounds as if someone will with all that food.

Hey Scottie, if you're cooking for the next six weeks, does that mean you're not headed to Saudi? Maybe I missed the announcement. Happy thanksgiving to you and yours.

Same to you and your family @SGH
I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of Unit #1 as it runs for days on end... I'm sure who ever is on the receiving end of all of those eats will be very happy.

Brother yolk I am not going Aramco. My wife and grand daughter was the deciding factor on that. To be honest, I'm glad they talked me out of it. Now we can cook my friend.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Money isn't everything. As long as you're at peace and your family is happy, that's the important thing. Selfishly, I'm glad because I enjoy your banter here.

For a very selfish reason, I'm glad you're staying stateside ... you've contributed greatly to the cooks I've done so far ... I'd miss your presence.
Like FarmerTom's comment, geez I'm working on a two pound piece of pork and you're going to do a small cook with 90 pounds of meat!!! Wow. And, you talk about unit #1 and unit #6 ... are you doing that to mess with folks, or are there four other units?

OK great! But what else do you do besides "just kick back and just cook"?
@SGH This is only a rhetorical question. For sarcastic value only."I'm stupidest when I try to be funny"

That's a lot of meat to cook. I am just doing one turkey and a pecan pie. Start my brining process tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to you @SGH and all on the forum. Have a safe and fun holiday. This is also my favorite time of the year and am getting my mind around getting my other hip replaced a week from Wednesday. I'm not as nervous this time. I may doing some cooking this weekend and next week to have leftovers for when I can't to The Egg for a while.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.
