What to put in the smoker this weekend?

I noticed the turkeys in the grocery store. I thought it unusual, but at least they're available.

I'm a big fan of the 'Texas crutch'. I'll put a whole brisket on the pellet grill at lower temp and higher smoke for about 5 hours. I then put it in a large enameled steel roasting pan and seal the top with heavy duty foil in the oven at 250 for about 3 hours. I'll cook it to my target temp of 204, then I let it rest. I take the drippings from the pan, separate out most of the fat, and reduce on the stove in a saucepan. Then I add a quality BBQ sauce to the drippings and let it simmer essentially making a dynamite finished sauce.

This is true of almost all of our smoker stuff. We smoke meat to use in other recipes.

GK, flew by the part about finishing 2 of the three pieces in oven with their individual recipes. I typically finish in foil pan with a complimentary fruit juice or broth covered in foil @ 350-375?. Half way thru finish drain off 3/4 liquid and add recipe. Last nite was Mrs bo BBQ sauce for one and Teriyaki sauce for the other. Both fork tender at 205?.

We also use the smoker as an oven or BBQer much as a smoker. Mrs bo has several slow lower temp cook bread and cobbler recipes.

Drool begins when she says be ready to put Dutch oven in smoker tomorrow morning.
