This net was started on April 3, 2020 by Johnny Renfro (N5XQK) and the RCWA officers. It was originally planned as a health and welfare check And also as a way to break the boredom during the restrictions of the Covid pandemic. It has evolved into a great daily net that many folks look forward to each day

19:18 WB5E-JOE: That's what I thought Alex and that would be a great way of smoking the turkey...
19:18 KC5FM-LLOYD A: Ask Taco Tim if he is serving Turkey Tacos from the Taco Truck Thanksgiving
19:19 KI5WDM-DONALD: OK you lay the bird down back faceing up . take some heavy scissors and cut the backbone all the way out on both sides of the backbone. romove the backbone and lay the bird out flat to put your fixin"s on and cook it splayed out
19:19 KD5AFS-GRANT: If I every try to smoke turkey I thing it's just going to be a breast
19:20 WB5E-JOE: I've done the breast also Grant and thanks Donald.. I call it something else ... I'll have to look that up
19:22 WB5E-JOE: Breast for me turned out better.... and a little smoke also...
19:23 WB5E-JOE: If it was up to me I would do turkey legs .... now that great .. when smoked....
19:24 WB5E-JOE: juicy and tender ... and smoke.. also
19:26 KI5WDM-DONALD: and just a tip ___ put a small metal pan with water init and lightly cover the bird Stays good and juicey that way
19:28 WB5E-JOE: it's also called spatchcock when doing a chicken or turkey.... I didn't want to butcher that if I tried to say that on the radio
