Planksgiving 2011

Planksgiving is easily my favorite holiday. It’s everything a good holiday should be- gathering together with good friends and family as the weather begins to get chilly to over-eat in lumpy, ill-fitting sweaters. Planksgiving is, in a word, festive.

For those of you not familiar with this holiday, Planksgiving is an annual celebration created by us here at Outdoor Gourmet to get the holiday eating regimen off to an early start. We host this event the weekend before Thanksgiving. And this year, we planked a Turducken! And ribs!



 Making of a Turducken... a photo essay.
The night before, trying out the new turkey injector.
The bird(s) just added to the planks.
Two turkey-sized planks, just to add to the excess.
Getting golden!
Ready to serve.
Oh, and we built a beergloo for our extensive library of all the newly-released winter seasonal brews.
The Beergloo
Happy Planksgiving, one and all.
