cranberry sauce with champagne and currants is my new go-to.
Turkey on Grill Too Smoky--What to change?
I just noticed that my original question was unclear. When I asked about 1/4 C chips, I was referring to another 5lb chicken trial. I would scale the smoke up to the trukey as well once I found a smokiness that I think would work for everyone.
Another trial next week with 1/4 C chips, soaked overnight.
Turkey on Grill Too Smoky--What to change?
All good points. I think I'll try 1/4 C chips soaked for longer. All I'm looking for is a kiss of smoke--1/2 C was more of a grope-fest.
Being new to charcoal, I was first worried about sharpening my technique and tweaking the flavor second. Everything turned out great--crisp skin and dark and white meat both were cooked through but juicy. If I like the results of the redo, I'll feel pretty confident about scaling it up to the big bird (well, medium bird--12-16lb). The only difference will be that I'll have to add a half a chimney of coals at the one hour mark. Depending on the results of the redo, I might skip a second smoke packet or even pull the first one out. Is there a difference between smoking for the first half of cook time vs. the second half?
If it's not smoky enough, then, at worst, I'll have a well-cooked turkey with the added benefits of the charcoal-grilled flavor and a free oven for sides.
All of this and then it will be a windy, rainy, and/or snowy mess on Thanksgiving and I'll have it in the oven anyway...

Gluten-Free Girl - Google brought me right to Shauna as soon as I came home from the doctor's office. My disappointment regarding my gluten issues lasted all of that one short car ride. Thanks, Shauna (and Chef, and Bean)!
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
My brain froze up as I went to answer the question because a thousand or so reasons all came up at the same time. So I got up and went to cook some bacon that I just picked up at the farmers' market this weekend. I love bacon because just mentioning bacon doesn't just remind me of something or cause me to ponder any how or why, it makes me get up and cook bacon. It was the answer to its own question and a damned tasty one at that.
God bless you, and Praise the Lard.
