Something happened to the turkey this year. I didn't really change anything, but it turned-out totally different. More moist (not that it wasn't moist these other years). Oh, and it didn't look like a piece of charcoal itself when it was done - it was nicely browned. Only change to the bird: stuffed an onion in it. Only change to the cooking: decided to make little smoking boxes for the hickory out of aluminum foil instead of throwing wet chips onto the hot coals, perhaps cooling-off or extinguishing some charcoal. Oh - change of venue, too. With Wind Advisories out from the weather service, I moved the grill inside the garage, though I still prepared the chimneys of charcoal on the driveway.
Well, you can tell another stage in Jack's development - his lungs are bigger because his cries are much louder. He was fussy and a bit tired.
Everybody was in good spirits, and everybody actually went home at a responsible time!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
It's turkey time here in the house and I'm way behind schedule. I'm not going to blog the doings this year - just too far behind and not enough energy.
Check out the prior years - 2004, 2003, 2002. If you want to see a video on my technique on barbecuing a turkey on a Weber Kettle Grill, be sure to check out the video in 2003.
