Looks like it would do the trick, but I'd rather use the high grade stainless steel on the Orion. No rib holders either.

pretty similar. This is actually the first year I wish I didn't have to work on Turkey Day spefically because of the orion.






translated, I like my Orion better than my mother in law

Have you done a turkey yet?

 

[deadheadskier]

I haven't. I've done about a dozen chickens, my own sausages, smoked some trout and ocean perch, brisket, pork shoulder

it's on the list for sure. I might snag a bone in organic turkey breast from work and do it up after the holiday.

 

[RootDKJ]

It's damn good. I've only done one though.

Actually what I really need to get is a Wild Boar Shoulder to throw in there. I've grilled Rack of Wild Boar before......think of the best pork you've ever had, then double how much you liked it and that's pretty much Wild Boar.

If the STUPID remains of Ida get out of my neck of the woods quick enough Saturday, I'm planning on putting my 1st turkey in the Orion (fingers crossed that a long overdue Orion TR will show up this weekend!)

I was thinking about doing a turkey in the Orion, is it easy?

What do you use for wood chips with a turkey and is there a rule of thumb for
cooking times ( so many minutes per lb)?

/my mother-in-law's not that bad.
//If forced to choose, though, it'd be tough. I do like the Orion.

she's not all that bad

last night I did up three racks of ribs for her and family for an early mother day celebration. Came out pretty darn good. Brined the racks over night in a apple cider / apple cider vinegar mix with some cloves, sea salt and bay leaves thrown in.

Doctored up some BBQ sauce with Bourbon, Carmelized Shallot and Apricot.

now time for leftovers

Nice! It was way too windy here this weekend for using the Orion. Next weekend, I gotta get some ribs going.

We made sausage on Saturday, planned to smoke it in the Orion on Sunday for the family gathering, but I, too, found it to be too windy. So, did it on the old school Brinkman instead.

It was pretty windy, I used my shed to block the wind a little, but noticed that the charcoal burned pretty quickly because of it.

Dusting off my O on Sat, for some wings and ribs. First time cooking in it for some friends who "use a real smoker" as they say. They are skeptical about the O. I am sure I will change thier opinions.

As long as the wind isn't doing what it was last weekend and my wife doesn't suddenly decide to get a babysitter and have us go out to dinner, my Orion is getting some use this weekend! Will give me a good "excuse" to see what the guys that just recently bought the butcher shop in my home town have to offer!
