BBQ Grail Turducken Burger

The Turducken is a Thanksgiving phenomenon.  A de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, stuffed with a de-boned chicken with layers of stuffing between each bird.  I’ve wanted to cook one of these for a long time.  Since it’s not likely to happen for some time I had to come with another way to enjoy

My New Char-Broil RED Infrared Grill (Part 2)

First cook on the new Char-Broil RED Grill was 60 chicken wing drumettes for a review of some BBQ sauces.  The grill performed great.  I was amazed at how fast it got hot.  I even tackled some smoking during the first cook.

Used one of the Wild Cherry wood "pucks" from Appalachia Smokers. The
