Thanks Giving Turkey Is On

[smokendevo]

Got the bird in the PBC just after 11 AM. Want it done early and in the warming tray so I can get some other things done around here.

Turkey rubbed down with some Montreal chicken rub


Hanging it in the PBC, I-grill probes attached. One for turkey and one for barrel temp


Barrel temp is pretty high at the start, should settle back down soon.


Evil Cat Lady lives two doors down from me....her big old tom cat checking things out all ready.

You weren't kidding about having it done early.  Thanksgiving is still six weeks away.

Not sure what country your from but here in Canada we have thanks giving on the second Monday of Oct.

Columbus Day, which falls the second Monday of every October in the United States, is America's most awkward holiday. It's the day they celebrate America's discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492. But, as many Americans can tell you, Columbus never actually reached North America and America had been discovered thousands of years earlier by humans who migrated from northeast Asia (and around 1000 A.D. by Leif Erikson). More to the point, Columbus is increasingly known less as an explorer than as a genocidal maniac who began the centuries-long destruction of the Americas' native populations.

Celebrating genocidal maniacs is never fun, and even less so when it's on the false pretenses of a discovery that they didn't quite make. So here's a better idea: on the second Monday, celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving instead!

Instead of Columbus Day, Americas northern neighbors spend the second Monday of every October celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving or, as they call it, Thanksgiving.

Everyone have a great Thanks Giving. Lots going on in the world and we have a lot to be Thank Full for.

You got that right CDN, lots to be thankful for and sorry buddy but I don't do homemade stuffing 
Just trying to make a good Thanksgiving meal for my son and teach him so he knows just how lucky we are to live in a great country like Canada.

Got the turkey warming in the turkey roaster till all the other fixings are done and dinner is served. The hardest part is done and thats what I wanted to accomplish. 4 hours from start to finish on a 12 lbs. turkey. Had to adjust the bottom damper a few times but all is good.
