So, since Thanksgiving is coming up and Christmas is right around the corner, I thought I'd start a similar thread to the Beer (and BBQ) one.

So, what are the plans for the holidays?

For Thanksgiving we're going to brine and smoke a turkey. We're planning the same for Christmas dinner (in-laws are coming for a visit).

Any fun recipes, tips or techniques to share?

Of course, we'll have to post pictures once cooking time comes.
