Thanksgiving weekend I always get the smoker fired up for a giant meat feast, and this year is no different. Started the smoker, 22.5” Webber Smokey Mountain (WSM), at 9 pm thanksgiving night and at 10 pm was up to temperature so on went the Bison Brisket and pork butt. Those take the longest to cook, so overnight makes sense to me so we can eat at a reasonable time.
7 am, the above 2 meats get put in a tin foil 1/2 pan and wrapped in foil. More charcoal and wood put in the the bottom and water pan refilled as the bison short ribs and turkey go on the top rack. Yeah, the meat feast is going to be coma inducing come this afternoon. Pictures to follow once the meats come off and get plated.
We don’t tell the extended family about us doing this, because it will go from doing it every Thanksgiving evening, to the day/night before Thanksgiving and nothing being left for our enjoyment. HA!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving day. Carrie and Jason came down from Jackson for the afternoon. We got enough snow that I could go snowshoeing.
Today is even better...turkey sandwiches.
Snow...think I am going to have to learn to love it. Winter here goes into April! Just got drive plowed and walks cleared and it is snowing again. Much different than MI...pretty much all the lite and fluffy kind of snow. Dry cold much easier to handle than the damp MI cold. As the snow builds in the mountains, the elk and moose should be roaming SVR. Routinely have mule deer in front and back yards. Had a big 12pt buck looking in our window a few days ago.
