We got the bird on at 6:50 am. Chuck had suggested I make notes so here they are. As Thanksgiving day went on, the temperature outside and in the grill started going down. It had been 550 until we opened and loaded the grill. It got up to 225 and we picked up Jeff and went to Starbucks. Follow my notes for the morning schedule. Here is the view from the kitchen table but the bad news was the weather kept deteriorating. Pies were made by Jeff and I and baked and around 10:30am the temp was 190 degrees and we had more rain/sleet. We decided that it would be best to take the turkey off and put it in the oven. It looked and smelled great. You can see by my notes that them temperature kept rising and we took the turkey out of the oven at 12:45pm. Although I was disappointed that I didn't get it ALL cooked in the BGE I consider it a success since everyone said it was the best turkey they had ever had. It was incredibly moist and tasted great today on sandwiches we shared today with 3 generations of family and friends:) I look forward to the Christmas challenge!!
