Episode Synopsis

This podcast episode serves as a comprehensive guide to preparing for the forthcoming Thanksgiving celebration, with a particular emphasis on the preparation of turkey. We delve into the merits of utilizing a pellet grill for achieving a delicately smoked turkey, thereby avoiding the pitfalls associated with heavier woods that can overwhelm the bird's natural flavors. Additionally, we engage in an informative discourse regarding the advantages of purchasing frozen turkeys as opposed to purportedly fresh ones, elucidating the nuances of various preparation techniques. The conversation further extends to the importance of side dishes, with insights into alternative options such as yams versus sweet potatoes, and the art of crafting stuffing muffins for enhanced presentation. As we navigate this culinary landscape, we underscore the essence of gathering with loved ones, highlighting that the company shared at the table far surpasses the significance of the meal itself.Links referenced in this episode:amazingribs.comheritagesteel.usoregondungeness.orgpaintedhillsbeef.compigpowder.comCompanies mentioned in this episode: Weston Kia AmazingRibs.com Kia Corp Heritage Steel Painted Hills Pig Powder This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
