Downeast Johnny Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Your turkey looks fantastic Shaun. :thumbsup: The "wrap in towels in a cooler" is a great trick, for all the meats you mention. Amazing how long stuff stays hot to warm that way. Edited November 27, 2015 by Downeast Johnny (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) The weather started cooling down here a few weeks ago. Right on time too cause my smoked cheese supply was running low. I like to keep some smoked cheese around for a couple special recipes and just to throw on a cracker for a snack but I need temp's of 60* or lower so the cheese won't melt in the smoker. I use a couple 6 inch perforated tubes and wood pellets for the smoke but they will raise the smoker temperature by 10 to 15 degrees and the cheese will start melting about 85*. Here's the results of my cheese shopping Pellet tubes in action Smoker racks loaded up And gettin smoky The tubes will smoke for 5 1/2 to 6 hours then the cheese gets bagged up for a 2 week rest in the fridge to let the flavor soak in and mellow some. Roasted Bell pepper / smoked cheese snack spread. This started out as basic Pimento cheese but has become highly "modified" Eat it spread on a Club cracker, or make a grilled cheese sandwich out of it. I can give a recipe run down if anyone is interested. Edited November 27, 2015 by Downeast Johnny (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadowns Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hey guys, I thought I would share what going on at my house today. I have a 14 lb Turkey out smoking on the grill as we speak. We did an overnight Brine with salt and brown sugar and have the Weber 310 gas grill set for 240 degrees. Removed the back bone so it will lay flat.I added Apple wood in a small metal box at one end. The smoke has been rolling a couple for hours now. When it gets to 165 degrees I will wrap it foil and let it rest in a cooler until time to cut. Wish me luck with the finished product!

cadowns Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 It is all done and I have it wrapped in a cooler. The plan is to eat at 5:00. The iGrill probe is still in the breast meat and we are holding 166 degrees. It sure does smell good around here! Later Guys CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's going to turn out great. How about a picture after it came off the grill? Those iGrill thermometers look like sweet units.

cadowns Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 It turned out GREAT ! My sister and brother-in-law ate with us and they went crazy for the Turkey. The iGrill probe took all the guess work out of this cook. I feel it was a bargain at $35 on Amazon. Wrapping the cooked tray of meat in foil and then in towels, I was able to hold the final temp for 2.5 hours when I ready to cut it up. Try it you will love it.

Downeast Johnny Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Great looking kabob's Bryan. I used some of my recently smoked cheese and made a 4 quart bowl of roasted Bell pepper and cheese spread. Christmas version. Haven't smoked any meat in a couple weeks. Maybe next weekend.
