Yes. just get the fork against the bone and run it down the length and it falls right off... Good Eats...
Smoking Thanksgiving Turkey day is tomorrow. Normally I do my smoking on Black Friday, but Dad wanted a smoked turkey so it’s tomorrow. So I can take it down on Thursday. Doing 3 tomorrow. 1 on the GMG and the other two on the Traeger. The one on the GMG I’m going to do a rotisserie… worked out great last year… Doing a buttermilk brine over night. Then I’ll be doing a Apple theme… Apples on the inside and spritzing with Apple juice…during the course of the cook. Today: 1/2 gallon buttermilk, 1 cup kosher salt, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of Good Eats Rub then filled up the rest of the bucket with water to submerge the birds.
Got mine soaking as well. salt Paprika Chili powder Garlic powder Cinnamon sticks Onion Garlic cloves Poultry herbs Oranges.
Looks and sounds good. How big of a bird? I’ve been liking the 12-13 lbs range in recent years…. They seem to cook more evenly….
The string on that rotisserie bird reminds me of my knot theory..... "If you can't tie a knot, tie alot!"
Got a rope sausage, three packs of wings, and 7 yams to do today bringing it to the family later in a foil pan
