My First Smoke and First Smoke Day Cook

[Barb D]

Trying to decide on what to cook for my very first smoke and realize it’s almost 6 months since Thanksgiving. What better choice than turkey since we had 2 in the freezer.

This is the one I choose since we’ve had it since Christmas last year.

Seasoned with Weber Kick’n Chicken and Roasted Garlic Herb.

Setting up the mini for the cook.

Turkey on with apple and cherry wood for smoke. Cooking at 275 - 300.

Three hours later and done.

Resting

Doing side of yam rolls with EVOO and brown sugar. Turing after 2 -3 minutes for browning.

Done.

Plated with stuffing, cranberrys and gravy.

Since this was my first smoke I felt it was very successful and had a great time doing this.
Thanks for looking. Hope everyone had a great Smoke Day.

I'm very proud of Barb she didn't need any help at all and the turkey was perfect! Great cook sweetheart!

 

[Brian Dahl]

Yeah I say it was pretty successful too, Barb. Thanksgiving in May: two thumbs up!
It's nice the Paparazzi was out, too
Go team Mini!

Beautiful cook there. Love the plated pix.

 

[Robert T]

That is an outstanding plate of food. Great job!

 

[James Lake]

Nice job you really nailed that cook. You had me at the turkey, but the sides put the whole cook to a higher level!

 

[Jerome D.]

...and Barb hits a grand slam on the first swing of the bat! You're killing me, Barb, by pulling off the Thanksgiving dinner for Smoke Day. Definitely an epic meal.

 

[JRAiona]

That looks great Barb.

 

[Mildo]

Beautiful cook Barb! And no less pretty pictures Rich! Very nice looking turkey breast, really. Good work both

Spot on Barb. Now I want some turkey with all the trimmings.

 

[V_Rocco]

Can't go wrong with two Goldens supervising! Excellent cook... I love me some turkey.

 

[Eric A]

Good job Barb , turkey looks awesome!

That's a perfect "Thanksgiving in May" plate right there. Thinking to myself that I might need to pull my turkey out of the freezer (that's been there since Thanksgiving) and smoke that thing. Great job, Barb. Can you convince my wife she needs to learn to do this?

Todd just tell your wife to jump in, its lots of fun and once you start its all over you can't stop. I've learned so much and having a ball at the same time. Just start out with something simple. If she would like to ask any questions send them on.

Other than the sweet taters,that's a good looking plate! Well done!

 

[Bob Correll]

Fantastic cook all the way around Barb!

 

[Jim Lampe]

EXCELLENT!

Great cook sweetheart!

Yeah!! Great Cook Swe..., I mean BARB!

 

[Todd Phillips]

Nailed it. You can't get ant better color and texture then that. I think you need to step up too a much bigger grill and get rid of that stand. Ill be happy to remove it from your home
