Those Thanksgiving Meals 2021

[CVargo]

A thread to showcase your cooking and meals this holiday.

Yes @woodpusher feel free to post yours from a month ago



Just got the grill fired up. It's a brisk 27 degrees outside

Had a mishap while injecting the bird. Lost the load.


All good now and on the smoker

51°F & sunny here. Was hoping to smoke a duck instead of a turkey but last minute ended up with a butterball. Just my nuclear fam (4 of us) and no travel so its a relaxing but still special day for food and fam.



About 1 hour in, stable temp at 225. 10lb bird indirect with apple wood chunks. I’m hoping to see if i can get to about 4 hours of cook without overdoing the temp.

Kind of surprised the probe and top therm are showing similar temps even though i measured the top therm in 212°. Usually its out of sync due to level

Turkey came out phenomenal. Last 2 years of turkeys have been great, previous years had been meh.

Hope everyone is having a great time today!
