Turkey breasts and leg quarters. I also picked the meat off the wings and bagged it for chili or gumbo. Not much of a smoke ring, but the flavor is there.

About 4.5 hours on the smoker, the thickest part of the breast reached 162°. I took it off and wrapped it in a foil tent to rest for a few hours. Residual cooking will take it to a safe 165°. I’ll break it down after that, and vacuum seal the bits. We will have one of the breasts tonight for smoked turkey sammiches! The other breast will go for a future dinner, and legs/thighs will probably be used in a gumbo, or maybe a chili.

Smoker is about 275°. I put it on about an hour ago. This is a fairly small bird, a little over 12#. I imagine it will be to temp early this afternoon. This one is to have on hand for quick meals, the Thanksgiving bird will be roasted, Mrs Tex prefers it that way.

You have ONE evil feature, #4. You are 100% legal. A semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (1) A folding or telescoping stock; (2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (3) A bayonet mount; (4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (5) A grenade launcher

This incident, as I have read so far, was on the load and make ready portion of the stage. The clock has not started yet. There is no reason at all to rush the holstering of the gun. I have not seen anything to indicate it was rushed, only that it was fumbled. I do not know what holster was being used, but if it was one of the uber-gamer holsters that only minimalistically secure the gun I can see this happening easily. I do not know. I was not there.

Yup. There is no free lunch. You want quality NODS - you gots to pay for them. Currently that price is a couple/few thousand bucks. You want to go cheap - you have to deal with the corners cut. Digital NODs have come a long way in the last few years, but they aren’t there yet - that’s why you don’t see .Mil troops or pilots using them - yet. The delay is one of the things they still need to get right. But - that Sionyx setup is the only system that I would even consider if I trying to save some $$ and get “budget”NODs vs getting at least a Gen 3 PVS 14 (which is really the smart answer if you want useful NODs). If I was really saving up, I’d be looking for a set of binocular white phosphorus NODS. You can get a PVS-31 or Anvis setup for $6k-$8k depending on options.

Check out Sionyx: https://www.sionyx.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8q3biZKB7QIVF4-GCh3KYgHPEAAYASAAEgLRMPD_BwE Its digital night vision - significantly cheaper than true NODS - at about Gen 2.5 quality. I think you’ll see this tech be the wave of the “Night Vision” future. It can be handheld, head worn, and weapon mounted. You can buy two and have a binocular setup giving you some depth perception and allow for some other advanced NOD techniques. Some versions even have color imaging instead of the traditional green or white phosphorus. If looking for true NODs, spending $$ on anything less than Gen 3 is a waste. Avoid Russion surplus stuff. Save your $$ and buy something quality. If you search, you can find a decent PVS-14 for less than a couple thousand.

Last shot. There's no rushing for safety.

night vision and budget doesn't align. there was a great thread on this on ar15.com earlier this year. I believe every bugout kit should have nv ability.

Yeah the sugar is the downside, but, that makes for nice caramelized crust on pork. I have dry rubbed this 12# Turkey with Dillo dust, cut with another bbq rub I like. It will go on the smoker tomorrow.

This is exactly why I feel that the Fire Stick is the hands down winner. Yes you have to deal with the ridiculous amount of advertisement at times. Some have advertisements on the screen saver. Some only on the home screen. But since HBO Max refuses to work with Roku and Fire Stick owners you're screwed. That is unless you know how to side load on the Fire Stick. I have HBO Max installed on all of my Fire Sticks and Fire TV. We have 2 TV's that use Roku, so we have no HBO. Also with side loading comes Kodi. If you are the least bit techno savvy, I strongly recommend this route.

No pistol grip on his rifle. He gets to have two evil features - removable magazine, and threaded barrel. NJ Legal.

I have both Roku and Fire Stick and a Fire TV. They both have their benefits, but I would choose Fire stick, or Fire TV, any day of the week. The reason being is because you can side load apps as well as use Kodi. These two reasons win hands down.

Put it on popcorn and pumpkin seeds. You are welcome! My favorite part about ‘Dillo Dust is that while it may be expensive, it comes with a free rifle.
