Last one...

So, no rain today and crisp this morning... fall is finally here... and this happened in honor of its arrival.

 

[Dav4]

3 hours in...

.... and done! Almost 15# turkey smoked and temp at 180 F after 6 hours. I'd never smoked a turkey before but this turned out great... I believe I'll be doing this again in a month or so .

Looks delicious! You reminded me I have a few slabs of ribs and some sausage I need to get after, before the smoker goes dormant for the winter.

So, I was digging through the freezer in the garage taking inventory last week and found this one. With the world coming to an end and all, I said “what the hell!”. Also, it’s 82f and I weigh less then 200 pounds for the first time in over 30 years

Fall is in the air...

started at bedtime, then when you get up in the morning they’re almost ready.

You use gass/electric? Or how do you keep the fuel coming in and the air controlled?

 

[leatherback]

a weber kettle... no way to adjust the temp or feed fuel.

Same here.
No thermometer build in mine either. I do find that with the top and bottom air vents you can work the temp up and down quite well. I can even kill the fire if I close the slits eneough, which I reqlized on of the first times I made ribs.

Big Green Egg, ceramic grill and charcoal. It does a great job keeping temps even. It will grill steaks at 500 or smoke butts at a steady 225 for 15+ hours. I put 2 big butts on Friday evening at 5:00, and never looked again until I pulled them off Saturday around 9:00 AM, perfect. My wife shot me grilling Christmas Steaks last year, I was sick as a dog (no doubt now that it was ’Rona).

hmmmm weber smoke!

 

[Dav4]

It never got above freezing today but we smoked for over eight hours without having to feed the grill before pulling it off to finish in the oven inside .

The circle of life… an Ume that died almost 3 years ago during the move north thrown on the coals for today’s cook.

It was 88 F today and something like the 16th consecutive September day in a row here over 80 F, which has blown away the old record by at least 3 days. Tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox and should still be 80+(hopefully with some much needed precipitation). Still feels like summer
