Thanks ! I have my turkey rubbed down with my favorite seasoning and I have Avocado oil , just want I had on hand . I'm going to fire up my Akorn Jr tomorrow . Too many neighbors lurking around right now . 😂 I can't do anything around here because everyone is so nosey . They all have their own grills but are too lazy to use them and come up with all kinds of excuses not to use them . I got tired of sharing with everyone . I even gave some of them BBQ grills with competition charcoal and they still won't use them . Too bad for them ! I'm going to keep enjoying the best tasting BBQ'ed food in my entire life . 😋 Thank you for making this video and happy Grilling and Smoking . It's super time right now and I just heard my neighbors driving off . He He He ! I know they saw me cleaning the Kamado this afternoon . Mesquite lump charcoal is delicious too . I'm a poor man living off Social security so I try to get what I can on special . I love delicious food and I love to make my own . Another thing , I won't leave my BBQ and go anywhere , once I had the temperature go from 400 degrees fahrenheit to over 650 degrees fahrenheit while getting me a cold brew from the fridge . 😅
Hey man! I totally get that. Our house in on the corner and my yard is pretty much wide open. My neighbors will be walking by and smell that smoke. All of a sudden they want to stop and talk. Too funny. Man I tell ya. Cooking outdoors is just plain fun. I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment. It means a lot. ✌🏼
Just stumbled across this one Rob. I threw in the towel and ordered the Akorn last night! Hope to have it by next weekend for the Tailgating collaboration! This video helps me feel better about that decision😅 I will have to try a turkey breast, it looks wonderful.
Don't forget to follow the instructions , you need to burn off all the packing oils and afterwards oil the grates before cooking . Assembly isn't so bad . Some bolts were easier with a nut driver . I ordered directly from Char Griller and they took their sweet time shopping it , 30 days . They took my money right away . I think I saved 10 or 20 dollars , but I would have rather had it sooner . Especially after using it . 😅
Nice cook Rob my 2 cents for what it worth and you handled it well some people will say soaking the wood will put excessive amounts of bad smoke aka dirty smoke. But like I said you done good. again nice cook Thank You
Hey sir! Thanks so much! I don't think I will soak the chips again. Luckily the smoke died down pretty quickly. I was hoping to get some advice from you guys. Appreciate you my friend.✌️
Hey my friend depending on how many people you are grilling for , you may want to get the full size Akorn Kamado , these Akorn Jr's are small and the larger ones can be had for a bit more . I have a Primo Round Kamado and a Akorn Jr and for smaller cooks I use the Jr .
Yes sir. I’ve definitely gotten better at controlling the temp on this unit. It was a bit of a challenge at first because of the size. Appreciate the advice.
Nice little rig! I say, be a man and do it how you want to do it! Great shout outs! I think you need some Michigan garb too! I love both channels that you did the shout out on! (and yours!) Regulating is something you will do at your own preference. I absolutely loved this video,..I need to get my own camera person, and editor! LOL! Turkey rolls looked perfect to me! Thank You!
Thanks Paulie! Now that I pretty much have it figured out, I'll tweak things for sure. It's a good little unit for sure. I'm trying to talk about my friends and their channels a little at a time. I would like to mention yours if that's OK. Also, not sure if you know. But I fallow your Facebook page as well. ✌️
Roll Tide Rob!!! You should be a fan lol The turkey looks superb and I just got some chicka licka bam bam. I really appreciate the shout out brother. Nice job on the cook
Lol John! I thought you would get a kick out of that. I was nervous about this video. Not too much experience with that Akorn. I think it's really cool. I'm excited about it. You'll like that rub I'm sure. Stay safe my friend! ✌️
That turkey looks real good !! I have a off set smoker love that thing . I'm a ohio st .fan . my girlfriend I been with for 19 years lived in Alabama but shes a auburn fan lol. Great video keep up the good work
Hey there my Oklahoma brother! I appreciate the shout out so much guys you have no idea! I absolutely loved this cook! That little red egg does a fantastic job. My mouth is still watering when you started showing off it looks those succulent pieces of butterball turkey! Y’all watchthe weather I heard Omegas is had a twister touchdown today.😱😋👊🏻🔥🍻
My friend! I was replying to your comment and had the sirens go off. Lol. I think you guys will be ok down there. Yeah so, I want everyone to love your channel as much as I do. Those little turkeys were no nonsense but ever so good. I think I got that little thing figured out now so I won't be as nervous next time. Stay safe! ✌️
Those butter ball turkey's came out so juicy on the Akorn Jr!!! And that rub sounds interesting, I don't think I've seen it out here but I will keep an eye out for it! That Jr may be small, but it sure did work great! Awesome cook brother!
Thank you sir! Might have had a bit too much bad smoke at first but it settled down. Don't think soaking the wood chips was a great idea. I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment. I love your channel! ✌️
Great cook and I will be looking at where I can get one of those thanks. I’ve also done those turkey breast half way through bast them in a good dark beer like ying ling. But all in all mouth watering good my fellow Oklahomaman. Shout out from marlow/ Duncan area
Hey man! Thanks. Got mine on Amazon. 168 bucks. Little thing is built like a tank. I like the idea of basting with beer. Dang, you're right down the highway from us. Chickasha. Appreciate you! ✌️
I’m brand new to using the Akorn Jr. I’ve watched your video 4-5 times and am trying to follow your recipe. I bought the Butterball turkeys and they’re frozen. Can I smoke them from frozen or do I have to thaw them first. Thanks
I haven't seen the akorn before. Haha your little puppy segment made me giggle. I kind of like that little smoker. It's sort of smallish and compactish. Doesn't appear to take up too much space. That turkey looks so amazing!! I would like to slap that between a couple slices of really soft bread with a little lettuce and mayo. Oh yum. Ok I gotta stop watching food now LOL.
Hey thank you! This little Akorn is really nice. I'm surprised actually. My wife and I made sandwiches the next day they were tasty too. That little guy is Buddy. He was enjoying the day. Appreciate you. ✌️
Thank you! It was a little stressful for me at first but when I saw it was working, I relaxed a bit. The turkeys were very easy and it tasted real good. I appreciate you!
