We are recovering from our food coma after an amazing week of Thanksgiving treats.  While Turkey was the star for most folks, we had some duck breast that stole the show.  

Update on my diet and the great results from eating the right kind of fats and looking forward to talking about prime rib for Xmas.

Hope y’all have taken your turkey out of the freezer to thaw.  Are you smoking a ham. Try equal parts of apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and honey as a sprits while on the smoker.  Smokey sweet goodness awaits your tastebuds. 

We are also going to try the new Meater 2 Plus waterproof meat probe and let you know if it is worth the upgrade. 

Happy Thanksgiving.

Chris walks through his recommendations for preparing your turkey this Thanksgiving.  From thawing it out, how to inject and how to avoid an over salted brined turkey.  Timing and tips for crispy skin.  Did he say mayo?  Yes, and you won’t regret using mayo on your turkey prep if you follow some is pre instructions. 

Happy Thanksgiving.

Preparing for Thanksgiving is key for success.  Whether you are ordering a fresh turkey or a frozen one, you don’t just throw it in the oven or smoker without some prep and serious consideration of flavors.  To brine or not to brine, that is the question.  What about injections?  What are some things we need to have on hand to ensure the best results?

Winter arrived and I am not as keen on smoking in the cold any more.  Technology is great when it works and a nightmare when it doesn’t.  Software updates can render devices useless and power outage causes us to cook old school so it is good to keep those skills sharp.  Finally, I’ve jumped into the hobby of 3D printers and may have found an accessible option.  I will keep you updated on my adventures with the Bambu Lab X1C printer.

We finally removed the broken canopy over the grilling facilities to make room for some new construction.  Winter is coming and we are expecting our first hard freeze so had to unhook the water lines and hot water heater from the outside sink.  If we have to work on the deck we might as well through a pork shoulder on the smoker for some pulled pork.  Hard to get away from the spicy apple seasoning and apple juice brine so that is what we did.  Y’all stay warm.

So good to be back home after traveling to visit our girls in Alabama.  Both my girls are amazing cooks and made us some great food but a few of the restaurants left some things to be desired.  After returning home we have fired up the grill and smoked some cheese, reverse seared steaks and put together an easy pork roast that is full of flavor. 

Finally, I preached a sermon about the war in Israel and who are the heirs of Abraham today.  Follow the link to my Gospel Preaching With Chris Peltz YouTube channel.

Chris begins by talking about smoked cream cheese and then gets to all the hype around grass fed beef.  While it is leaner, Chris is not convinced it is better.  Let us know what you think.

Krispy Kreme Donuts are popular for several reasons but when you through them on the grill, they are truly over the top GOOD.  You have to at least try them before you knock them.  Also, we grilled some Chuck Eye steaks with mixed results.  Chris loved the first bite, texture and flavor but there was way too much fat that did not render down.  However, for the price, it is worth trying again.  Finally Chris shares his thoughts on a new idea for stuffed apples to maximize the flavor and creamy goodness inside.  Stay tuned for further updates and email us to let us know if you try anything we talk about.

We love desserts on the grill and confident you will as well.  Try your favorite apple pie, peach or blackberry cobbler, cakes or other baked goods on the grill.  We also love grilling fruits like pineapple, peaches, apples and bananas.  Don’t knock it ’til you try it.  Finally there is the campfire classic S’more with a twist for the grill.  In the middle of all that we take a side trip on getting more smoke with pellets using the Grill Grate brand cooking grates.
