[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 72921, member: 2189"] Me too! On chicken and my wife! LOL!!!!!! Mr. Turkey, On several occassions when the weather has been and could be predicted to be nice we have in fact done just that. And you are absolutely right that at the end of the day you are not exhausted. One year that the weather was predictablly outstanding I got with the neighbors and I purchased numerous racks of ribs and several huge pork shoulders and cooked up pulled pork and ribs on the smoker grill. Granted the prep happened over several days as I use a special brine solution and then apply the rub for 24 hours but the cooking started the night before as I got the fire going good in my smoker (all with real hickory of course) and the meat (ribs went on later) went on at 4 am in order to be ready to eat about mid-afternoon. Also another little secret I use is get a very small metal pan and keep it filled with fresh apple juice and sit it at the edge of the fire. That moisture also penetrates the meat adding to the moisture and flavor. We threw up a big portable awning and set up tables and all the neighbors came over and we had the best time that day. A summer cookout/picnic on T-day. We even had margaritas but I'm a beer man myself. I was shocked at how many neighbors showed up before 6 am so we started the party early with a good pot of coffee and my daughter made us some of her blueberry muffins. We drug a TV out on the patio and the kids watched a parade on TV and then we watched a good bit of football with Detroit and somebody. Before we ate we all gathered together and everyone shared something that they were thankful for and it was a special moment because that day we all grew closer together. About 11 pm that evening as a number of us were still out on the patio enjoying those last few moments it hit us that what we had done was more in the tradition of Thanksgiving than any of us realized.
