@6:57 Garlic POWDER for the win! Friend of mine's wife used to make Garlic Bread with Garlic SALT and it was TOO salty! BTW if you can find Lawry's Garlic spread it's great! 🤤
Thanks for the tip on the charcoal setup. I have a pit barrel jr, and have been wanting to test out some different setups to see if i can get longer cook times while still maintaining good temps.
I am curious about why you use dry wood chunks in your smoker. In my experience, dry chunks burn faster and impart more bitterness to the smoke. If you soak the chunks in water (or wine or beer), it slows down the burn, creates more flavorful smoke and decreases the bitterness. You adjust the number of wood chunks to control the amount of smoke flavor on the meat. The choice of liquid is based upon the meat you are smoking, the type of wood you are soaking, and the flavor profile you are going for. I also use the liquid in a drip pan to help keep the meat moist during the smoke. Add some peppercorns, sage, and/or rosemary sprigs to the liquid to flavor the vapor coming off the liquid onto the meat.
Adam, do you ever use lump charcoal? i find it works really well for long cooks as it doesn't make nearly as much ash so the charcoal doesn't suffocate itself or require as much vent adjustment to maintain temp.
Thanks for sharing
I’m gonna have to try brining some turkey. Looked fantastic.

Looks soooo good! Any chance you'll be coming out with a cook book?

Looks great. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Wales, Maybe we should start!
Looks like a great spread!
Oh man, those turkey drippings would have kicked the gravy up!
Thanks for sharing this delicious turkey and ham techniques.
Your Thanksgiving dinner looked delicious!

OMG that looks so good.
Y U M !!
Yup! Too much smoke makes food bitter.
But you miss out on the BEST part of the turkey, the dark meat.
