First turkey in KK32. 3 days brined, 350d for about 3 hours. I tried the Meater probe as was impressed

Crikey, @MacKenzie! You are hardcore! No pics, but it was 32F here for Thanksgiving and I had the 32 cranking (notice a theme? 32...32...it's gotta mean something...). Was trying to avoid the same ol' brined turkey routine, so did a Tea-Rubbed Maple Turkey (recipe from Milk Street) that was off the charts. Smoked that with a bit o' peach wood (just a hint to accent the tea rub). Also did a smoked beef tenderloin that had the guests swearing off turkey for life. Just a salt n' pepper rub smoked with a bit of cherry wood (again...less is more here). Doing a Korean Style Pulled Pork on Saturday. Gotta get my daughter fully fueled before we send her back to school to power through final exams. She's majoring in Physics...love that kid... ...and here it is before 8:00 AM and I've got 90% of my Black Friday shopping done thanks to Kerblam! (my new name for Amazon thanks to the latest episode of Doctor Who).

Did a Cornish Hen cook this evening. I need to have my head examined it feels like -22C outside and it is miserable with the wind. That is Little Barbie, the awesome deck snowblower that I had to use yesterday and again today. 400F for about an hour. Roasted some veggies in the toaster oven, over roasted that is.

I lived in the Sierras for a few years. One day while listening to the radio the DJ said I got to share this call. The caller asked to speak to the weatherman, there's a pause and you hear the weatherman pick up and introduce himself. The caller then says I just wanted to let you know I just got through shoveling two foot of "partly cloudy" off my deck!

@ tekobo, thanks, it really was worth it, so moist and tender, yum. Bruce, thanks. Guess I have the KK addiction. The weather today is a repeat of yesterday but there is hope in sight for the weekend.

Well I only have one picture, I had to peel off the outer skin because of having olive oil and rub on it But it tasted very good But I think it won’t win any beauty awards !

As many of you know I purchased a used 23 KK from Tucker, well tomorrow I am going to go big or go home and use it for the first time and cook the Thanksgiving Turkey I thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures of this beauty in the sun light with its tables installed It was made in 2013 and its color is Dark Autumn Nebula and its a 23 inch model

Pequod, as Newton might say, I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I totally agree, quite often, less is more.

That cornish hen turned out really nice!

Mac, sorry to hear the weather is so miserable there. But you have that pioneer sprit braving the frigid cold and snow to prepare a great looking meal. You are definitely a hard core KK chef.

That chicken looks like it was worth braving the cold for Mac!

That turkey looks really good @BBQ Iguana. Like, really good. I haven't cooked or eaten turkey for years but looking at how well you have managed to cook it on a KK, I am tempted!

I hope that plays out for you, tekobo! I've enjoyed my retirement so far - 5 1/2 years in!
