this morning had my coffee took the girls for their walk.processed to get the smoker ready dang that was nasty<my own fault for not cleaning it out the last time it was used> had to scrape it out then used the propane weed burner to guess you would say sanitize it and burn clean the grates as well...
9am the 13 lbs whole bird went on along with the legs/wings and back of the 12 lbs bird that i bucked up..

let there be smoke...

sure the homeowners in the subdivision behind us are drooling over the smell...

more to come as dinner progresses

That turkey looks amazing Major. I bet it smells out of this world too!

We had Thanksgiving with friends and I had my first turkey made in a deep fryer. It was excellent. Everybody contributed a different dish and it was all outstandingly delicious. We got to bring home a bit of everything, so tomorrows dinner will be a repeat performance.
I used Marys sweet potato recipe and they were very popular.

Home now, sitting in front of the fire, full of that golden glow of good food shared with good friends.
