Smoked a Turkey breast, 3 chickens and some garlic herb chicken sausage this weekend. The timing was a real b**ch with a softball tourney going on but I made do.
Fri. night I got everything ready. Starting with the turkey.
Pumped with some butter and rub that I ground b4 adding to the butter.
Then coated with some butter and rub that I didn't grind.
And a little more rub.
Next was the chickens.
I didn't pump the chickens only a coating of the butter rub mix.
All loaded up for the frig.
Ready for a good night rest.
Gard dog on duty.
Now its time for a break.
Took 10 lb of chicken leg quarters removed the skin and deboned (note to get 5 lb of meat it will take almost 10 lb)
All that was left of the 10 lb was 4 leg's so I did them up.
Ground chicken.
Ground pork butt.
Ready for the magic.
Ready for the stuffer.
Ready for the over night with the others in the frig.
Day 2 in the smoker
Gard dog still on duty

Had a storm move in before the turkey was done, had to scramble to get the umbrella and patio table up b4 it hit. First the hail.
Then the rain.

It took all day to get everything done and packed back up. Missed some games on sat. but got in all the games on sun. and on Mon. was the championship. The girls were as tired as i was, you could see it out on the field. A couple of errs cost them the game and they couldn't get the points back. had to settle with second.
