Candy with popcorn can be good but it seems like it always just all falls to the bottom

 

anyone used a smoker? Ive had luck with pretty much everything Ive smoked (wings/chicken/fish/sausage/brisket/ribs) but never seem to luck out with turkey. Flavor is good but its always dry. Even did a 24 hour brine this time. Anyone have any tips?

 

I don't really like them

 

My uncle did it once for thanksgiving and I’m pretty sure he didn’t only smoke it. I think he baked it a little bit first and then smoked it? Idk, not too sure, but I do think it was a hybrid approach and was pretty good.

 

I smoked a turkey for thanksgiving almost every year. I make sure to have a thermometer in the leg and the breast. I will either brine them or use an injection(Tony Chachere's) I also use crisco butter spray every hour to help keep the skin get crispy.

 

oooh maybe I should try the injection. It just needs to be juicier!

 

what do you use for a thermometer?

 

I have a little portable meat thermometer that I use. Usually just let it cook for close to the right amount of time, check the temp then go from there.

As this thread's resident ex-Chipotle manager explain how this happens

 

It’s a little skimpy on steak but those are the correct portions. Scoop of rice, scoop of black beans and 2 oz of cheese. Ask for extra rice or beans, they don’t cost extra, or order more than 4 ingredients.

 

Yeah that looks like a basic-ass bowl to me. Only reason why it doesn’t look big is just because there are 4 ingredients

 

I loved when people would ask for extra everything and then you’d see them throwing away a half eaten bowl

 

Nice. My only suggestion is to get one that can hold multiple probes. Poultry can be tough with only one since there’s little to no fat.

This is what I have. It’s pricey but worth it.

Smoke X® Long-Range Remote BBQ Alarm Thermometer

Looks like it’s on sale too!

 

daaang, that ones legit haha. Mines just a cheap one prober. Thanks for the tips and suggestion!

 

Let me get an invite to your next thanksgiving

 

I will actually be in Hawaii for this year’s thanksgiving, might want to try a completely different meal that day

 

Pinto or Black Beans?

I'm 100% black beans these days, better texture.

 

black but pinto are also underrated and serve a purpose

 

Pinto

 

Black. But pinto is also great in the right context.

Ranch beans in Santa Maria style BBQ just hit
