Thanksgiving part two. Dry rubbed it last night with a rub consisting of Light Brown Sugar,salt,chili powder,ground coffee ,cumin,oregano,mustard and smoked paprika. Estimated cooking time 3.5-4 hours at about 300. Also put sliced apples onions and oranges in the cavity.

I was a little bit disappointed in how the turkey came out. It was pretty cold and windy and I allowed for a longer cooking time, but it cooked a little bit faster than I had anticipated,maybe due to the wind. While there were some parts,like the dark meat that were tender,moist and delicious,there were some parts of the breast that were too dry. I probably could’ve taken it off and wrapped it at 155 instead of 165. Fortunately the appetizer and side dishes were great. Try again next year.

Was going to do a low effort brisket yesterday for the Masters today. But when at the store in the morning, found they had pork butt on super sale...so ended up grabbing one of those too and moving things to an offset.
About seven hours in...
All done, and just before putting her to bed in the warmer for the night. Not the prettiest picture...black chunks of meat in terrible light are hard to capture, but I'll try to remember to grab some pics when I slice into her later today.

@seawolf Ha, me too. She looked great, and felt right...so hopefully it looks and tastes as good as the exterior looks. <fingers crossed>

Okay, so maybe it wasn't the black meat or light that was the problem...terrible excuses. Turns out I'm just shit at taking BBQ photos. But here are some more trash photos of meat before it was devoured.
Roughly pulled pork butt, before I really got after it and shredded it, and then became even worse to photograph:
Pre sliced brisket:
Center cut:
Point, burnt ends and the flat in the back ground:
Turned out great, and glad I ended up using the offset...always tastes a little better coming off that. Solid food and a fun Masters today.

@seawolf Thanks! The trim was a little suspect in places, but I'm the only one that notices these things and the guests were only interested in how it tasted..and it passed that check without any issue.
So a solid first brisket of the year...hopefully I can find excuses to cook a few more throughout the Summer and Fall.

This pictures need no apology, that’s what quality barbecue is supposed to look like!

@mclaincausey Thanks!
@Jett129 Thanks to you, as well! This cook was done on my direct flow offset (Mill Scale 94).

Juicy jumbos on the fire tonight at Cultus Lake, extra mustard extra onion

@Ikeaparty I’ve never camped at Cultus Lake, but have driven past it many times over the years. You’re in some nice country and the food looks perfect. Enjoy the weekend!

@Denman-John it gets pretty busy but maple Bay campground is nice and quiet if you can ever snag a spot! It's at the far end of the lake.
Have an awesome weekend my man!
