GOBBLE GOBBLE!!

On a practical level, I think I could smoke something just fine without issue.

But the fire ban is still a “stage 2” ban, which specifically prohibits charcoal grills, among other things.

And like I said, while it would prob be fine, I just don’t wanna be that guy.

Honey brined, pecan smoked turkey at Chez 99.

Smoking doesnt count.

well, to be fair, it kinda depends on how he’d be doing it

True...but if you've got a fire that coild possibly get out of hand while smoking meat....you're doing it wrong.

true

Some guy in my county went all “BUT MAH RIGHTS” about the ban, and had a bunch of slash piles burning on his ranch. Now he’s facing like 12 counts of felony arson

I usually smoke the turkey but this year it’s just me and blow up ( only eats seafood ) thanks to COVID. It’s going to be 37 and raining out—so it’s traditional oven.

12 lb turkey to myself.
What a sad year.

12 lb turkey was the smallest I could find in 3 different stores. Everything else was 16 to 18. Just 3 here this year.

Turkey stock is made, that's about as far as I've got.

I ordered my turkey from Fareway/Mcgonigles. Already cooked and sliced, just reheat in a pan. Sad. Just myself and my parents. My mom didn't want to mess with cooking one, so I just bought one already prepared.

I think the smaller birds sold out more quickly. Not many to be found here.

So are racist people like, “ugh my open-minded nephew is gonna be at thanksgiving this year”

Got a 6 pound chicken!

Not sure about anything about it yet. Prob gonna bake/roast rather than smoke. Might wrap in bacon. Or stuff butter under the skin. Or both.

The only thing I do know is, Beaver don’t get none.

when ya got mac ‘n cheese...

[jhawks99]

That's a pretty big chicken. Chicken and dumplings may be a better option.

My current client is a turkey farmer. They sent a bunch of our team each a fresh turkey. We weighed it at 16.3lbs... Arrived frozen via UPS. Pretty cool. I don’t think we’ve ever cooked a turkey this big.

Dangit bro don’t ruin this for me!

While I don’t doubt you, I also want a whole bird to carve for thanksgiving. It’ll be fun, and it was only 99 cents a pound, so even if it’s completely inedible, just getting to carve will be worth the 6 bucks.

Besides, what could possibly be inedible after being covered in bacon and or butter? I think it’s gonna be delicious. Plus, between the holiday and game day and game day holiday and first game of the season and number 1 matchup, imma put down like 3 buckets of coorses before I eat either way.

And either way I still have beav’s mac and cheese as a backup.
