70 POUNDS of MEAT SMOKING! *PIC*
 

all the dogs in the neighborhood are howling! got 4 boston butts going and a 20 lb turkey that i brined for 12 hours

turkey has about 5 hours to go and the butts will go for about 8 hours after that.

check back later for the follow up pics!

That turkey is going to taste like Xmas in your mouth with all that juice dripping on it. What kind of smoker?

So what time can I come over? ^^

Looks like you already have all the meat you need. :)

wow. now that i can celebrate.


YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Droooolll, looks awesome. Ill be firing up the smoker later today myself. All of my friends and family loves my smoked turkey and ham on thanksgiving (and of course the Chorizo, Pork Tenderloin and Ribs arent bad too)

Your're cooking dogs???

I'll be deep frying a few turkeys today... can't wait! :thumbsup

anyone know if brining for 24 hours is too much?

for about 12 lb turkey, i used about cup of kosher salt + 112 floz of veg broth.

nice setup!

I'm salivating over here! Yumm! :thumbsup

and what the hell is a boston butt?

Now I'm hungry. Damn.

Smokey Mountain/Great Outdoors - i have a 55 gallon drum wood burning smoker but i like the gas smoker and wood chips. using a combo of apple and pear today.

were gonna start drinking within the hour, hurry up!

i love doing baby backs smoked with maple - fire them off on the grill at the end. take some pics and add em here!

its kinda long.. 8-12 hours is plenty

Iam hungry look reel good :thumbsup :thumbsup

24 hour brine could be a little much? I'll use about the same as you but with some brown sugar too and I'll put it in the brine tonight before bed and get it in the oven when I get up in the morning.

its the upper part of the pork shoulder - think pulled pork =]

in my brine I've got brown sugar, allspice, peppercorn, crystallized ginger, kosher salt + water + veg broth.

I guess I'll put the turkey in the brine 7-8 pm tonite.

What does the brining do?

The brine basically draws out moisture in the meat while your brine solution penetrates back into it. So the meat stays more moist with more flavor. The brine has to be more salty than the natural moisture for it to work.

k im on my way over

Holy shit, how many people are you expecting ? Looks great btw:thumbsup

looks so good! Now i want to have thanksgiving again..

R

im on the next flight
wow in canada we dont even take this holiday that serious

man im fucking starvin right now.. And im going to my g/f's aunts house for thanksgiving tommorow, hence, I can't break out the smoker and get to work. Ugh.. Here comes the dry fucking oven baked turkey!

That looks orgasmic! I can't wait for tomorrow. My tummy is already gurgling.

Looks damn good. We thought about smoking a turkey this year, but decided it takes toooooo long.

1 of the butts is for brunswick stew and 1 for the neighbor. we will have 8-10 people but leftovers are good!

using honey, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic plus water and broth.

Yummmy :)!

it does take a while but if you buy a case of beer and 2 packs of smokes its ok =]

that pic made my mouth water

you make me hungry

No but you got to keep ice on it !

I'm hungry. I'm seriously hungry now.. :(

Looks mighty tasty!

Damn that looks good.. your making me hungry :( Don't get anything anywhere close to that in the UK until christmas day :(

FUCK!! I love smoking meat I need a new smoker!

Holy shit that looks good...smoked meats can't be beat!

any good/specific brine you recommend? :upsidedow

That is joke?

most are about the same. water, sugar, salt. you can add seasonings to taste. boil 1 gallon of water and add 1lb of kosher salt. add 1lb of sugar/honey/brown sugar.. let the salt/sugar disolve. add 2 quarts of vegetable stock. add the bird to a cooler and throw in a 7lb bag of ice.

joke? nothing funny about it! =]

looks great :thumbsup

Happy Turkey Day!

happy thanksgiving :)

that is a lot of meat.... happy thanksgiving...

I feel fat just looking at it.

Yum!!! :)

Damn, that looks good.
