  1. Drippings and milled vegetables from that process seriously elevate gravy.
  2. It has a water pan? But I think what you're asking would be best answered by saying it will fit a sheet pan, and shelves easily can be removed to accommodate taller pans. I'm still playing with dial temperature vs thermostat temperature. But it exceeded expectations on the super bowl of cooking.
  3. Hit it out of the park this year.
  4. Thanksgiving MVP goes to our new warming oven. Not having to time everything and getting to sit outside and feed the smoker while drinking bloody Marys is the only way I want to do Thanksgiving from now on. Yeah, I should have washed the racks so it didn't fill our garage full of smoke. But it worked itself out.
  5. My smoker doesn't sit perfectly level on my deck, and I had butter sizzling in the bottom near the fire box (the drain is on the other end). No plywood to be found, so I improvised. Need to remember to put the drain bucket of butter up before the dogs are left out here unsupervised.
  6. Beef cheeks, if you can find them. 4 hours on the smoke, and 6--8 hours in beef tallow/butter in the crock pot.
  7. They've got a promo through Sunday. $2.99 per month for 12 months (with ads). I jumped back on.
  8. Lastly, cross-posted from the Turkey thread: I once described "sage" as the smell of Thanksgiving. And some marvelous Shaggy poster responded, "Yeah, combined with the smell of Lysol and shit, that's about right." It was perfect. I had no response.
  9. Reliable, local small-appliance repair isn't as prevelant as it once was. And this is one of those things I don't want to mess with. Also, that Ooni Dough kneeding machine looks amazing, but not going to grab one at the current price.The KA Mixer does well enough and I can hand kneed if I have to.
  10. Roux, veggies, and spices for Turkey Gumbo for Friday. And DCBC the 3rd eyeballing spices for the Mac and Cheese. I'm done (until 5:30 a.m tomorrow). I'm spent. Cracking a cold one and taking on advisory role on the M&C.

    Tex Mex

    I don't want any good Tex Mex restaurant to know about locally-sourced ingredients or farmers' markets. Truck that shit in. If you want to make your tortillas on sight, bona fortuna. But Tex Mex ain't fancy feast.

    Tex Mex

    That's basically the only Gattis I eat maybe once every two years. I need to go on the next pickup run to see the inside.

    Tex Mex

    Of course you have.
  14. Soon
  15. Off topic, but I once described "Sage" as the smell of Thanksgiving. And some marvelous Shaggy poster responded, "Yeah, combined with the smell of Lysol and shit, that's about right." I had no response. It was perfect.
  16. Dressing (2 pans) ready to cook in the morning.
  17. I worked some dough a bit hard with ours for a bit and noticed some grease leaking at the seam and looked it up. Yes, service involves replacing plastic gears that get worn out and regreasing. Not the worst DIY by the looks of it (you can buy kits), but really more grease than I want to deal with on a Saturday. Still haven't done ours and it keeps humming along.
  18. I honestly did not know this existed. I've been stocking up on Kerry gold (one box per week) since early October. Makes the Thanksgiving butter buy a little less painful.
  19. We just need one more and we could make a Dickbutt
  20. Serious question. Has it ever been serviced (regreased). The old ones have a reputation for being indestructible Even our "old" 24 year old KA Tilt head supposedly is far better than anything from KA you can buy today. But I think it needs service.
  21. Gravy is done. Family likes it with thangs (milled veg. and drippings from stunt turkey plus little bits of roasted neck meat. So I oblige because I like that shit too . No giblets though. Not a fan.
  22. 1 lb compound her butter (salt, pepper, cayenne, rosemary, sage, and thyme) ready to go for the turkey tomorrow.

    High

    I thought you were at DisneyLAND? Sounds like whatever you got was right.
  24. How will they vigilantly protect the pit from thieves from inside a sex tent or mobile (convertible-ready if bridges are involved) motorized sex tent?
  25. Because I honestly can't remember all the nuances of its jurisdiction and can't bother to look it up. Does it go to the "Bidness" COA a/k/a 15th COA?
