Hi RFH, I'm sure that if you are reporting your trades on the GUMM thread, you're giving them all something to chew on!! (Sorry!! Couldn't resist!) I finished smoking the turkey last evening. I cut small twigs from my apple tree and soak them in a bucket of water for a couple of hours first. Then when it's time to cook, I fire up the Weber and bank the coals to each side. In the middle I put all the apple wood. On goes the grill and turkey. I place the turkey in one of those disposable aluminum trays with about an inch of water in the bottom, then season the outside with butter, onion salt and garlic. I cook it "unstuffed" for about an hour. By then the apple had given the meat a great flavor and browned the skin beautifully. You can use other woods as well, but apple is handy for me. After the smoking is done, I bring it in the house and stuff it in the usual fashion. Then into the oven for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours depending on the size. I use a meat thermometer to judge. Starting a couple of years ago, we have cooked the bird a day ahead of time. After cooking, I slice and layer all the meat into a large 2" deep tray. That gets covered and refrigerated. Then on Thanksgiving all we need to do is prepare all the rest of the "fixings" and reheat the turkey. This takes the largest variable out of preparing the meal. I personally have much for which to be thankful. I've been blessed with the ability to sense the world around me and contemplate its beauty. I've found and developed many more friends than enemies in my life. For whatever reasons, whether it was the "Lucky Sperm Club", Fate or something else, I was raised in a good family. For whatever reasons, so far my own family has turned out okay. I'm not much on holidays in general. Thanksgiving is really the only one that has ever meant anything to me. I find it to be meaningful on several levels. I hope all of us continue to have plenty of reasons to be thankful in the years to come. Happy Thanksgiving, Tom
