Best BBQ rubs and seasonings and Cindy Lou’s cowboy “joe” recipes: Pecan wood is best for this turkey but almost any fruit wood or a mix of pecan and fruit wood such as apple or cherry, would be great. Let the turkey smoke for about 2 hours without touching it. At the 2-hour mark, begin mopping the bird with the Maple Barbecue Mop Sauce hourly (see recipe below). Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the bird and the temperature of the smoker. For a 25 pound turkey, smoking time will take approximately 5 to 6 hours. For a 15 pounder, the cooking time is about 3 hours. Monitor the thickest part of the turkey breast but also check the turkey legs before bringing the turkey in the house. It is recommended that you use a good digital probe meat thermometer, checking the temperature every hour once you start mopping the bird. Turkey breast, which is white meat, cooks a little differently than the darker meat found in the legs and wings. It is important to find the happy medium between getting the two meats perfectly done. We usually go with the breast temperature and as long as both the white and dark meats are at least 165°F. At this point, the turkey is done. Remember, the temperature is going to increase some after it is pulled off the smoker. We recommend a finish temperature of 165°F simply because we believe that’s the optimum temperature based on our experience.
Injection Sauce Directions: Take one cube of butter and melt it in a sauce pan on medium heat, careful not to over heat the butter and burn it. Smash 4 large cloves of garlic and add them to the melted butter and let the garlic infuse into the butter for at least 5 minutes, the longer the better. You can also add seasonings to the butter such as the dry rub you are using on the outside of the tri-tip. Once the butter is infused with the garlic, either strain or remove the garlic from the butter. The butter is now ready to be injected into the tri-tip. You will want to let the butter cool a bit but not too much or the butter will thicken and you won’t be able to inject it into the meat. This is a relatively simple injection sauce. Be creative and add your own seasonings.

Cast Iron Apple Pie Directions: Place apple pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle lemon juice over the apples. Sprinkle the sugar over the apples. Mix well to coat apple pieces with sugar and lemon juice and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Melt four tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the apples and toss continuously for 8-10 minutes until the apples become soft, but not too soft or your filling will be mush. Using a colander, drain the apples and capture the liquid in a mixing bowl. Return the captured liquid to the skillet with an additional tablespoon of butter. Add in the flour, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg and whisk until no chunks of flour remain. Add the apples back to the skillet, mix well, remove from heat, and let cool completely. Grease the bottom of a 10? cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of butter then line with one of the pie crusts. Add the cooled apple mixture to the cast iron pan. Place the remaining pie crust on top of the apple mixture and mold the edges of the crusts together. Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash of milk and beaten egg.
