What is a Tactical Turkey Shoot?

[Professional Engineer]

I made the cuts and such with the eye to hang a whole turkey in it.

I may start a little smaller and try a smoked chicken first, just for the experience.

[2111USMC]

Looks like it would hold a pretty good sized gobbler.

[Professional Engineer]

Youbetcha.

I wanted to do this one just to put another notch in the “you can do it if you try” doorpost for the kids.

My dad thinks I’m nuts.

[mylife]

You've got me with that question.

[mylife]

Well I think its’ great that you keep their minds and hands busy.

[Professional Engineer]

I’m hoping so. Might try smoking a bunch of stuff at one time as well.

[50cal Smokepole]

I see the drip pan in the picture. Do you put any water in it? That's important. It stabilizes the temp and gives thermal mass to the low energy cooking of a smoker. I know, I smoke jerky in the dead of winter here in Wisc.

[Professional Engineer]

I’m trying to keep them busy and help them be as self sufficient as possible.

[Professional Engineer]

Yes on the water. I had to refill the pan 3 times during the 6 hours that brisket was in there.

The doggies were going crazy. They could smell the meat, but couldn’t get to it. Heh heh heh

[mylife]

Wouldn't an xbox be easier? ☺

[mylife]

Thanks to all who stopped by!

Have a great week everybody.

[Professional Engineer]

If I wanted good little socialists.

[50cal Smokepole]

Kool. You're on top of it. With my smoker, I only have to fill the pan at the start. The jerky takes about four hours and there's still a lot of water left.

Dogs just go nuts on smoked meat. A local butcher has smoked pig ears for sale as dog treats. Gotta watch the fingers when you're handing them out....

[50cal Smokepole]

So long, and thanks for all the thread.

[Professional Engineer]

I think I had the fire too hot at times. Learning to tend it is going to be my big learning curve.

[50cal Smokepole]

Temp control is a real stinker. And I have a propane smoker. Every little breeze or rain or snow makes me run out to make adjustments. Man, I learned one important lesson:

If you're lookin’, ya ain't cookin’

There's a price to pay for opening that door.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Howdy do, My.
;0)

[Vinnie]

Now you’ve done it.
Here it is 7:30/6:30 AM Mon. and my thoughts turn away from eggs to ..BBQ.
That looks soooo good.

[mylife]

You are supposed to check in during the show ☺
