Happy Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday for those celebrating in Canada! Hopefully a good long Thanksgiving weekend, spending time with family and friends (and a few brews too). With Toronto in the ALCS games today and tomorrow, a chance to relax and cheer on the Jays.

Dang, now I gotta make a turkey too?
I just setup the lasagna for Columbus Day!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada!

Now, let me get the brine going.

Turkey?

No, tradition (U.S.) is oatmeal for Thanksgiving. With argyle socks sauce. Molded in the shape of a turkey.

Free beer to anyone who gets that reference.
 
I wonder if it is too late in the year up there to use the smoker for the turkey. I love our Thanksgiving and smoked turkey:)
 
The turkeys are a little unique because you don't want to dry them out. I have a regular charcoal, water, dome smoker that I have owned some version of it for years. They don't make that style without the doors anymore.
If it gets cold outside, keeping heat in that thing can be a challenge later in the cooking cycle. I have a 13-14 lb bird (actually 2 of the same size) in mine for about 6 1/2 hours. I put it on overnight, so it is ready in the morning. I have been doing it for so long that I can just feel the top on it, and know when it is time to go to bed. It is outside on some patio bricks away from the house, and I can set up my brewing canopy if it looks like rain.
It might be tough to do one of those on a grill unless you can keep the heat around 225 and keep a shitload of water evaporating on it.

Oh ya, I'm not cooking a Turkey on a BBQ, just pointing out that I use it all year round!

Ok...no free beer for me...as well as the internet search that was a fail. What the heck is argyle sock sauce? Can you serve it over Flannel Cakes?
 
In the NY City area in the 50s and 60s, there was a comedy duo on WOR AM radio called Bob and Ray, specifically Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding. They had literally thousands of skits, one of which was “Oatmeal for Thanksgiving”. Not only pre-internet, it’s pre-FM radio (and nearly pre-TV) so only the OFs like me might still remember them.

Hmmmm, you're older than I thought!
 
Well, they were on from the 40s to the 70s. I was not alive in the 50s.

I do remember them. I think one of my friends had some of their albums. Probably belonged to his parents. I'll have to google “Oatmeal for Thanksgiving”.
