Yes that was my / our first thought and the only issue with that move is theres no guarantee there won't be a smoker above the other one or next door I think were gonna move to the other place thats Smoke Free I found as soon as we hear I will update, thanks Joe

 

When is the new 'crib' gonna be ready Mom?

 

Raptor, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. Smoked turkey is delightful, and the soup one makes with the carcass has been stellar.

My smoker can hold a 12-16 lb. bird, and I'd love to give it a whack this coming November.

 

. . . that said, our regular family birdsmoker would oversmoke the bird about half the time. Also, one should use milder wood, like alder and fruitwood; do not use hickory and don't use that much oak.

 

Too much coke and too much smoke oak tree will get in your way.

 

The other problem with smoking a turkey is finding the right sized ZigZags for the job.

 

Sorry, Brian, I'm with Mom on this one. You can't beat a traditional oven roasted turkey dinner with dressing (with tamales is good), mashed potatoes, gravy -- lots of gravy, cauliflower with white sauce and little onions, , cranberry sauce, and hot rolls.

 

Also, coming up this weekend, King Taco all meat carne asada burritos with cilantro, onions, and lots of spicy salsa verde: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for breakfast at 8 AM at the Long Beach GP. Tradition! (Easter was last Sunday.)

 

No effing pearl onion. Horrible.

 

Au contraire, I love pearl onions. Anne Marie made beef stew in a crock pot with lots of pearl onions and lots of Coleman's mustard Sunday night. It was WONDERFUL! I had three helpings. Pearl onions are truly one of God's gifts.
