We ate well. A meat, two sides and a roll is all I really need. :thumb::thumb:

I bought a 9 lb. uncured ham from Trader Joe's and put it into Eggbert (Large Big Green Egg) at 275...

Three hours later it was 145 internal (it was fully cooked, so just needed to get it hot)...

I also made mashed tater, sweet taters (I bought sweet taters that were called Jersey Yams. They were yellow in color, but very good), green bean casserole, steamed broccoli and crescent rolls. We also had pickled beets.

My entry (excuse the cell phone pics)

Could've got better pics with a DSLR but had no intentions of entering a TD or at least didn't think of it.

Thanks Moose!





We had a potluck sort of Tday with friends and family. I was asked to do the bird and also did a smoked bone in pork leg.

After the transport

Everyone brought a ton of food and the host was scrambling which to put on the table and which not to since real estate was premium. Ended up taking the roast of and carving it off table.

Thank you!
 
Here is my entry...
BILturkey_zps879ca96a.jpg

Cooked fully crutched at 300°F or perhaps 200°F, with a little bit of lump and many feedings of oak and alder. Fortunately, the foil wrap kept the acrid alder smoke from flavoring the meat at all, the overall flavor was mild, and the meat was fall off the bone tender.
