Next up, we’re getting ready for the Texas Open Fire Meetup—if you’re headed that way, be sure to come say hello (14:02)! The holidays are almost here, and that means it’s time to start thinking about your Thanksgiving turkey (20:17). If you’re planning to brine your bird this year, check out our brand-new turkey brine kits (25:37). Got a smaller turkey? We talk about whether you should use the entire bottle of brine (27:43). Malcom shares whether he injects his turkeys at home (29:23), and we discuss if you should brine when you’re only cooking a turkey breast (30:59). For those stuffing their turkey, here’s exactly how to do it the right way (33:37). We also cover whether it’s better to spatchcock or part your turkey before cooking (37:42). (39:58). And if you’re cooking your turkey on a different type of smoker, your recipe might need a few adjustments (40:42). Has Malcom ever done a two-stage finish on a turkey (44:23)? If you’re cooking your turkey and need to travel—say, a couple of hours to a relative’s house—here’s how to handle that like a pro (46:07). For a midweek meal idea, we share a quick trick to make chicken phillies super easy (49:34). Everyone loves bacon and brisket, but what if you cooked bacon like a brisket (52:44)? Could you win a chili contest with a doctored-up version of Wolf’s chili (54:14)?
