I'm done too. Think i'll try to smoke a turkey on the grill- never tried it before, the old outdoor oven does a fine job, and I didn't have time to smoke a test turkey- but i'm gonna go for it. I left Sunday and ran 3 mill rolls to Milton and 3 back, i'll fire the grill up early in the morning and commence to cooking. Traffic was already getting heavy yesterday, wouldn't want to be on the W.V. Turnpike now. Last night at 10 o'clock it was raining, traffic was heavy, and the fourwheelers could only manage about 40 mph.

Four day weekend? That means you can eat all the turkey sammiches you want and you don't even have to worry 'bout over sleeping 'cuz of too much tryptophan..

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you guys!

tryptophan...where's my book that 'splains what stuff is...starts with a "D"...oh yeah, dictionary...oh, there it is- holding up the corner of the couch that the leg broke off of.

Guy down the street was already starting to smoke a turkey about 9 o'clock, either he's planning to eat early or it takes longer than expected. Smelt pretty good, almost invited myself for dinner.

just got mine on the grill, 3 am. I have no idea really how long it'll take to cook, but I do have a plan. I'll smoke it until 9 or 10, then put it in a covered roasting pan and put some charcoal in the main part of the grill. I'm just using the offset firebox now, with charcoal and oak. You're welcome to come on over and try it this afternoon.

Would you mind faxing me over a piece as I'm at work and will not get be spending time with family today. They are just about 200 miles distant and I sit here with some dead equipment, some marginal, ensuring the national airspace is safe.

I would if I could, but I do not have a fax machine. All I have is a printer, copier, scanner and the scanner is dead and the printer is marginal.

Looks like it's cooking nicely in the smoker though, I think it'll be done shortly, looks like the automatic timer pop-up button is starting to automatically pop up.

Thanks for the invite Tom, don't think I would have made it in time for the turkey. On a side note, I don't think turkey á la printer paper sounds very appetizing.
