    Today I Gave Everybody the Bird

    My first smoked Thanksgiving Turkey.
    Turned out pretty danged good if I do say so myself, and so did the family.
    Not too pretty, the way they injected solution made the skin tear during cooking, but I'm not eating the aesthetics of the bird.
    The skin wasn't crispy/crunchy, but it wasn't chewy either, a perfect median of scrumptious flavor.
    Juicy, tender and delicious, great smoke/rub flavor.

    Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

    Die if you must, but die on your home turf with your face to the wind, not in some stinking hellhole 2,000 kilometers away, among people you neither know nor care about.
