Thanksgiving Bird (Go Figure)

[Smoking Duck]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEE!  I love wood-fire pizza!  Trouble is......none around here. :'(  I'm gonna have to come out to visit you some time.  We can open a case of red, watch the entire series of Sopranos and smoke foods all day long.  Come to think of it, that's all I've been doing since I lost my job 11 months ago ! ;D

Blast the coals with a blow dryer to knock off the ash right before you throw the meat on.

Alton Brown uses this technique for flank steak. Prior to placing the meat on the coals he uses a hair dryer to blow away any ashes from the coals; so you are placing the meat on coals with no ash on them.

That's where I got the idea...

I must have miss your post before I posted this morning. I didn't notice there was another page. Mike threw me off track by mentioning Syracuse Salt Potatoes. :)

FYI
Bird came out great!
Did a normal bird in the oven (just in case things didn't workout), and used the honey brine with apple smoke for the other.
The families consensus was lets do the smoked bird next year!
It was a hands down, clear winner.

Really enjoying my Bradley.
Any other must do's?????

Thanks for the info.

May the smoke be with you.

We did that last year with the "backup" turkey.

This year the smoked one flew solo, no leftover turkey, plenty of leftover ham...
