I'm sure I'm missing some, she's been at it for two days.

Do to complaints of only having turkey, picked up from local BBQ restaurant:
Ribs
Brisket
A few pounds of smoked turkey just for tradition
Collard Greens

From favorite restaurant:
Stuffing with sausage
Cranberry relish
2 different loaves of bread

1 can of cranberry sauce, totally for tradition.

And my sister will be bringing 3 pies and whatever else she feels like.

Oh yea. This is for only 6 people as all the cousins are now living all over the country.

Yea. This thread or the smoking thread. Weather had me nervous to keep grill temps up, but as expected 3:15 total cook time. Grate was consistent at 250-260, lid temp 270-280. Loved by all. Over cooked the ham but everyone still loved it. Roasted Brussel sprouts and bacon tuned out great. Lots to be thankful for this year.
