Hi Bruce, Tomorrow I'll be cutting some fresh wood out of my apple tree early in the AM. Next is to bank up an hour's worth of hardwood charcoal in my Weber grille. After the fire is going well, I separate the coals into two opposing piles and leave a "valley" in between them. Into the valley I load the twigs from the apple tree after they've soaked in a bucket of water for a while. Next, on goes the grille and then I load our Thanksgiving turkey. I cook it just one hour on the grill, with no foil over the bird and no stuffing or anything inside. All I'm doing with this process is smoking the bird with the apple wood smoke. After smoking the bird, then I bring it in the house and stuff it and cook it normally in a regular oven. The smoke flavor stays with the meat and really enhances the overall appearance as well. We've been cooking the turkey the day ahead in the last couple of years. After cooking, I let it cool and carve it. I stack the carved meat in a big Pyrex baking dish and cover it until the next day. I can make gravy ahead of time as well. Then, when everyone starts to arrive for TurkeyDay, Jane and I can relax and enjoy our company while all the goodies are just warming in the oven. Jane usually cooks the potatoes just before serving, but everything else is "pre-cooked" for a no-fuss meal! A favorite beverage for Thanksgiving is what we call a "MILES STANDISH." Without alcohol, it's Cranberry juice and ginger ale. If you care to have a bit more therapeutic value, add an ounce of Vodka to it. A cherry looks good perched on top. My friend from Duxbury, Mass. took me to the Miles Standish memorial when I visited there in about 1969. He explained that the reason it was called the Miles Standish monument was that it stood *MILES* above the sea!! Well, you can see how such a thing would stick in my brain!!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. May your AIM be good for years to come!! Best regards, Tom
