Aside from covid :flipoff2:, what’s on the menu for Thanksgiving?

We are going to have all 4 kids and our grandkid at our house. We haven’t decided for sure yet, but I might do a brisket and some ribs. The sides will be the typical Midwest spread.

I might see if they want me to do philly sandwiches on the griddle instead. I’ll probably be hunting and won’t feel like babysitting a smoker.

What do you all have on the menu?
 
I'm smoking a turkey this year. We've done prime rib before and it is also a hit.
 
Going to smoke a ham and “beer can chicken” a turkey. Since the pit is running, going to make some deer jerky too.

Well, that changed. Split it in half and smoking it. :homer:

I’m gonna deep fry a turkey. The only proper way of cooking one. Wife will make corn from the garden, green bean from the garden casserole, mashed potatoes stuffing and cranberries. She’ll toss out some of my pickles and dilly beans, some fresh cheese curds. My mom will bring some deviled eggs my sil will make a seven layer salad and my mil will bring a ham.

My favorite holiday!!! The left overs are awesome!!
 
Only 4 of us, and I'm not a fan of turkey.

Doing a small Boston butt, it was all the stores here had and a whole chicken.

Started the butt last night at 9 with the traeger set to 225. It pushed past the slowdown to 170 about 7 this morning, tossed the chicken on. Butt hit 190 at 845,chicken was at 135, turned it up to 325 to finish and crisp the skin.

Did the turkey on the traeger on smoke for 2hrs, pulled it to butter the skin then 375 for a few hrs till it hit 165. Best one I've done to date. Was juicy and smokey. Edit: brined for 18hrs.

Boston butt is the noms. :smokin:
 
I got up at 2:30 this morning to put the brisket on the pellet smoker. Tossed the ribs on at 7:30. Everything was ready at 12:30. I should have taken more pictures. Everything was delicious. Or so my family said, I still can’t taste very well. :mad3:
