  1. I didn't give enough context here. I smoked it to those temps, rested it for an hour, then vacuum sealed it and froze it. My plan is to thaw it and bring it back up sous vide in a 165 degree water bath for an hour or so. I think that should kill any Salmonella if it's still present. Also, it is a frozen turkey that was pre-brined and I spatchcocked it. I bought some spring loaded poultry shears that made it so much easier than a knife or kitchen shears. I used a brick of unsalted softened Kerrygold butter and rubbed it under the loosened skin of the breasts and then all over the bird. I also pierced the skin 20-25 times with one of those fondu skewers that is always lurking in the silverware drawer waiting to stab me. This was the only rub I used. https://jp-bbq.com/collections/frontpage/products/sexy-chicken
  2. If it is a fresh turkey, yes brine it. If it's frozen and "basted" (check the label), then no. The bird can only take so much salt. Rubbing butter and spices won't fuck up the skin, but I would use a toothpick skewer and poke some holes in the fatty areas so that it can render while it cooks. Makes for a much nicer color and texture.
  3. I pulled mine off of the smoker with the breast at 159 and the thighs at 165. Am a good after resting it for an hour?

  5. I thought DT was CR now. Am I not in the safe space?
  6. Can confirm. My insane uncle is still blaming it on windmills despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. It’s amazing.
  7. With ROFLBOX?
  8. Good point. Yeah, I could live with that.
  9. Damn, I never thought I'd find Liz redeemable after what she did to her sister and who her father is. But, here I am. This plus her standing up to the MAGA bullshit makes me wonder what the catch is. There has to be some nefarious strategy here.
  10. Same here, but my WSM fire might take closer to an hour for brisket. I use the BGE for steak and it usually gets to 500 in under an hour.
  11. Have you tried Natural Calm? It is a magnesium supplement that helps you sleep. And poop. Natural Vitality Calm Sleep Magnesium Citrate with Melatonin & GABA, Sleep Aid, Mixed Berry Flavor, Vegan, Gf & Non-GMO, (Package May Vary),16oz https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0716M5CXM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_70AWN8TR038C1ZAWXW1F
  12. It’s the dismal tide. The dismal red tide. A crimson wave, if you will.
  13. I’d add a day in the fridge to each of those.
  14. Okay, that's more like it. I thought I sucked at seasoning these things, too. I guess I'll pull out the pan that looks like the one on the right and give it another shot.
  15. Yes. It sucked. But, the Woodcreek election turned out well. Lots of young families with kids moving in.
  16. "Don't Let Me Down" is one of my favorites. Hearing the guitar parts in this jam was really cool. Can't wait for the film!
  17. The action may be too high. Get a setup. Stop being a pussy.
  18. Made out with this dude at a hotel in Austin. 2 Trees were involved/Hedburg. I'm old.
  19. Fuckin' A. Chad Fucks. RIP Roto Disco.
  20. No, but I would suggest looking at an induction cook top. Once you get the hang of it, it beats gas. I know....I didn't think it could, but the rapid adjustments are amazing. Offers more flexibility in the kitchen as opposed to a range. I had a Kitchenaid induction range with a double oven (one convection), but that is below your price point. Avoid Bertazzoni. I tried to cook on a big 48" and it was a pain to start the burners and the best thing I can say about it is it kept my loved ones warm during snowmaggedon.
  21. Nice to meet a fellow government employee.

  23. The Switch in Belterra is another option.
