Loving the weather here in cottage country and a 10 lb turkey on our Weber Q 100.

       What a wonder evening and warm night actually ran our AC for a bit before going to bed, nice to have full hookups again.
      Early morning walkabout the campground , so peaceful and chatted with a few people here and there. Then headed into Buckhorn for a few things and fill up the car with gas at the Rez. only .86.9 cents a litre a good deal here in Canada only $3:38 a  US gallon.
      Time for a light lunch then another walkabout and enjoy our e-readers in the very warm afternoon shade.

        Then every half our or so putter around a bit, have a nice long hot shower and prep our large 10 lb Turkey to see if it  would fit on our Weber Q 100. Picked it up the other day on sale only .99 cents a lb  it was a 10 lb bird lotsa eating here for $9.91.

all thawed and ready to go

         After trimming a bit and squishing the bird as much as I could found it would fit on our Weber Q 100, just barely but I did get the lid closed. Just like I do a chicken. Rubbed down with olive oil and spiced the way we like it. On the Q about 2:30 after preheating then low and slow it was all done by 5 pm right on schedule.

directly on the grill and ready to go 

lid close no peaking for 2 hours

     In the meantime we had friend Barb stop in for a nice visit, have not seen  her  since the Mennonite relief sale in New Hamburg the end of May this year. John did not make it issues with a knee problem. In the meantime, we were invited to another "Happy Hour" but really don't want to leave our BBQ unattended. 

      A new neighbour pulled in right behind us with a brand new class c and a brand new Shaw satellite dish and receiver. Asked if I could help him set it up. No problem, he plumbed the tripod like I told him set the dish on and we did the settings for here. checked his connection and no signal from the receiver ( my tester tells me that) so we ran the cable through their slide and right to the receiver. And no problem excellent reception and they good to go. Need to have their coach wiring looked at I think.

our Turkey done to perfection at 5 pm
180 F internal temp
moist, juicy and crispy on the outside

Gotta love a turkey on the BBQ

    We had a feast and so much leftover, lots of meals in the next few days and the carcass in the freezer for some soup in the future when the weather cools down.

     What another great relaxing summer day as the summer is winding down, we will take all the sunshine and warmth that we can get for the next little while.

      Thanks for stopping by.
