With the price of charcoal these days.....cooking your bird on the kettle is the fanciest way you can roast it.


Anything in the cavity before you truss Flave?

How does flave stuff his bird?

Two fists and a Hallmark card.

Same as your ass.


LOL

flave, buddy I highly doubt a limp wristed queer likes you could even make a fist. I believe the part about the greeting cards... Laffin

Listen up losers,

Thanksgiving and the celebration of Christ is upon us. Give your kettle a go:

-10lb size is ideal.
-Truss your bird. If you don't know how to truss a bird, learn how to truss a bird.
-Place an 8"X8" pan under the turkey. You can add potatoes and carrots or even brussel sprouts but you shouldn't need any water. At all.
-Throw a small chunk of wood or a handful of chips on your coals but nothing more.
-Get temp to 350* and keep it there.

Check temp around the 2.25 hour mark. You should be real close. Once center of the breast hits 165 + , pull and tent with foil inside. Let it rest an hour, then carve.

I get 36lbs for just under $20 with tax. I use roughly 1/3 of a bag per cook which comes to about $3.30 in fuel.

Actually....the 36 pounder is two 18 pound bags.

So it would be a third of an 18, not a 36.

Hey GRIZZ,

Did you ever figure out how to prime a cartridge?

I mean, you’ve only been reloading for “30 years.”

LOL

Lying dumb fugk.

Professor Flave,

I might add a cautionary note for those cooking pizza over charcoal. If you've smoked anything in your grill of choice prior to cooking the pizza, run a hot burn to get rid of the smoke residue before cooking your pie. If not, your pizza crust will taste like it's made from ground up charcoal briquettes. Frozen pizza might not be as bad, but fresh dough takes on smoke very easily.

[quote=deflave]Never considered a frozen pizza before, but would be super convenient as a snack or appetizer prior to the main cooking session.

Great thread deflave. Thanks for taking the time.

Frozen pizza on the Weber was a hit.

I've grilled fresh pizza dough on a gasser, but need to try it on the Weber.
