Well fuck you too!! Lol


I need to get fancy with the marinades....but my wood chips give the meat a mean flavor...i got tri tip down if i dont fall asleep half way thru

Havent mastered chicken.....wife wants me to smoke a turkey...eeek

 

Dj. You have that badass smoker...all you need is some good recipes and your set bro!

 

I was going to attempt to cook a turkey in the forest this thanksgiving. Dig a hole, fill it with coals, wrap the turkey in foil and all the fixin's and cover it with coals, cover all that with some dirt. Wait 4 hours and dig it all up (dirt dutch oven turkey).

Sadly, everyone has a life and loved ones so, id be doing this all for myself lol (i typically camp alone on holidays )

 

That sounds amazing

 

I thought so too. Also because the forest is EMPTY on thanksgiving and christmas.

I tried to sell it to my family and friends as a "to the roots" thanksgiving. All primal n shit.

No one bought what i was selling lol

 

I like to use lots of butter, course ground black pepper, cayenne, seasoned salt and lots of herbs

 

That rig is for sale on CL

 

Moved into new warehouse. We have a two piece security fence that is used for roll up doors. Could be used for any garage, i suppose. Secures opening while allowing the door to remain up.

It does not fit the opening at the new place. Extends out to approximately 13’4”.

Free if anyone wants it. You pick up.

Pic is only of one piece. It’s two pieces, and secures in the middle.

 

Sounds like fun. Every year we go to Oregon to visit my family for Thanksgiving and the next day me and my buddies up there bring a bunch of leftovers go wheeling out the woods and then build a big fire and heat everything up in tinfoil on the fire. it’s always a lot of fun.

 

250 degrees tops. I try to stay between 200 and 250

 

So my new headlights for my truck showed up in the mail last night and I went to put them in and realized I had to pull my front bumper to get my old headlights out and the new ones in
Turned out good other than taking twice as long as I thought it would.

 

Same here, for everything. 225 is my go to. If i can keep it constant, meat be so tenda.

 

Theres a traeger drumstick recipe that I think I'll copy (since it turned out bomb) except go a little longer since they're thighs...

Thanks for the temps!

 

Any time estimates? I'm thinking like 3 - 4 hours.

Copy this recipe: https://www.traegergrills.com/recipes/poultry/bbq-chicken-drumsticks

But go 45, flip, 45, then about an hour and a half in a Dutch oven or foil to retain moistness

 

The true test is when the leg will pull off of the thigh with little to no force. At least thats when I pull em off the grill and let em rest for about 15 minutes before consuming. Unless you prefer the thermometer method...

 

Typically i only follow time on ribs. Everything else, I do by temp. Mostly because i'm too drunk to make a good decision and a good temp probe won't lie and make me sick. For chicken though, good when the juices run clear.

 

dude that sounds epic. I'd be there if I was in town. if you do it another day, I'll come hungry

 

I love when you check temps when drunk. The concentration on your face is priceless.

 

It's the same face I make when I pop open your Vagabond in the middle of the night.

 

Its also the face we make when we finally get to eat at 2am.
