What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[BladesNBarrels]

You doing the total cooking on the smoker, or smoke 2-3 hrs than finish off in oven? We're out with friends. This weekend i'll do smoke then finish in oven.

Total smoke-roasting done in the Pellet Grill.
Butter under the skin of the breast and thighs, rubbed with olive oil. Internal thermometer in the breast parallel to the length.
Started at 9:00 am at 325 degrees and it was ready to be covered with aluminum foil and sit at noon with an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
I grilled extra Turkey thighs for the dark-meat lovers on the gas grill. Everything was moist with great flavors.
Guests arrived at noon and we started eating around 12:30.
Early dinner for those that don't like to drive after dark.
Most of the sides - stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole (with the secret ingredient of bacon), rolls, salad, cranberries, pecan and pumpkin pie, etc. were brought by friends and family.
Great dinner, very brief discussion of politics mostly acknowledging the unexpected results, and good company.
Most of the left-overs were packed to be delivered to my niece's work place for those that had the duty.
One of the good Thanksgiving days to be remembered.

The feast tonight went spectacularly well. The turkey was awesome, so moist and flavorful.

You live that close to AppleJack and can't reliably find a Black Lager? Blasphemy.

Or anywhere in Colorado for that matter.

About 2.5hrs on apple smoke then finished on the grill/rotisserie.

What a great thread this is! I just bought a Masterbuilt smoker & did a disappointing brisket Saturday. I'm really getting an education reading this. My wife says I have to try again this weekend. We'll see what the weather is like & go from there.

Try a pork butt (shoulder)..... Very tasty, and very hard to screw up.

For info on how to smoke pretty much anything, head over to http://amazingribs.com/. Their info has never steered me wrong. I don't follow their instructions exactly, but they until you get more practice, it's a great place to start and learn.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

Yep, Ditto DenverGPs post. That is exactly what I did and I am having a great time with it.

Went in 2 liquor stores today, neither had black lagers. I sometimes forget about AppleJack.
