What are you making for Thanksgiving on your RecTeq?

[Mike]

For Thanksgiving this year I'll be doing two turkeys, one deep fried and the other will be done cajun style and spatchcock on the Recteq Bull. I'm also doing Jody's Mac & Cheese and a cast iron skillet apple pie on the Bull.

What are you guys planning on cooking?

Will you be taking out a loan this year to purchase fry oil?

We plan on a boneless turkey breast on the 340 with hickory pellets and a smoke tube.

 

[Beach Bum]

20+ pound spatchcocked turkey on the Bull for sure. The rest still awaits approval from the head of household operations.

[Blues1]

Turkey breast and double smoked ham ...

Well I was really hoping I could count on you to help fund it.

No problem @Mike GoFundMe is up and running

Definitely a brined and lightly smoked fresh turkey on the RT. Still having the in-house debate of spatchcocked or traditional, but since I'm the one doing the bird, my vote is spatchcocked.

I just bought a "beer and meat" fridge/freezer for the garage. Plenty of room to hold a 5 gallon bucket and room for a few other things last weekend. The prime brisket behind the two chickens in the brining bucket from last weekend should be defrosted and ready for this weekend. A few other "projects" lined up in the freezer for the coming days and weeks.

I'm not sure. The inlaws are coming over and my wife's 3 cousins and 2 of them are vegetarians. I was thinking some kind of small turkey on the RT700 since the inlaws are bringing a ham. When I was at the grocery store earlier this week they were totally out of turkeys so I may not find one to cook. I personally don't get into Thanksgiving. Most of the traditional stuff that is served are things I don't like. I usually just end up with a plate of turkey and mashed taters.

That was my plan for the 2nd fridge. Somehow it always winds up with a ton of other stuff in it too. My 5 gallon bucket never seems to fit. If anyone else has that same problem, check out the 60qt Igloo Ice Cube cooler. It holds a 5 gallon bucket plus about 30 pounds of ice. That is my brining set up.

We have a freezer and a freezer/fridge combo in the garage and they are so full we can't put anything else in them. When we moved them out there I couldn't understand why we needed them and how we would fill them up. Now I want a small chest freezer so can actually buy meat when it is on sale. Our current freezers are full of frozen dinners and bags of frozen vegies.

I do hate having the fridge/freezer combo. You have to turn the fridge part down to freezing to get the freezer to stay frozen when it gets really cold out in the garage.

I plan on smoking a turkey breast on 1250, and a 20 pounder in the roaster because my wife needs the broth for her dressing and gravy. We have a lot to be thankful for.

 

[JGW]

Prime rib, most likely. If I never eat turkey again, it will be too soon.

I’ve never tried that! Great idea!

Dry brined Turkey and smoked Mac and Cheese, smoked cream cheese

Hi all,
Like @JGW, I'm not a turkey fan. For the last several years, I've swapped good ribeyes for turkey. This year, I'm smoking a full packer's cut brisket with sweet potatoes and asparagus as sides. To me, leftover brisket tacos are better than turkey sandwiches any day.

I was thinking about smoking a full packer. My loan request was denied, turkey for me.

We do traditional turkey inside...I added a Prime Rib (Prime - Costco) a few years back. I think we only do the turkey now because everyone feels like we have to. Ha. I do a huge Prime Rib... great horseradish/lemon dip... it is a huge hit.

We leave for our hunting property Tgiving night and we take the left overs... smoked prime rib sandwiches in the blind the next day... Ummmm YEP!!!!

One of our local butchers makes fresh Turduckens and Turducken rolls. Since it is just me and the wife, I’m going to do a roll. They’re about 5 pounds give or take.
