Happy Thanksgrilling!
How to Prepare Your Entire Thanksgiving Feast Using Your Smoker or Grill
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen—literally! Looking to add some sizzle to this holiday season? This year, before the gang’s all here, think outside the oven. Rev up your meal with these mouthwatering Thanksgrilling recipes specifically suited for your smoker or grill and enjoy these bountiful beauty shots from some of our favorite outdoor cook station projects.
Everyone knows that the key ingredients to Thanksgiving always involve pre-meal snacks. So be sure to create some charcuterie and decant your favorite bottle of wine to tide over those rumbling tummies and encourage engaging conversation while your chef works their magic.
If our unpredictable weather is cooperative, whisk out some yard games to entertain eager onlookers in the garden so you keep your sanity from over-the-shoulder sous chefs.

Add Seasonal Sizzle with Thanksgiving Smoker Recipes
Every Thanksgiving chef’s worst nightmare is a dry turkey. However, if you’ve ever used a Big Green Egg, you can attest that it consistently achieves juicy poultry. With its ceramic walls and impeccably engineered airflow, it locks moisture into your meat. So, why not gamble with smoked Thanksgiving turkey this year? Whether it’s brined, roasted, injected, or spatchcocked, your turkey will be the consummate crowd-pleaser.
Try this tantalizing 5-star brined turkey recipe from the BBQ Buddah. With apple cider vinegar, fresh apples and onions, and savory spice mixes, we’re dying to try this one ourselves. Note: Be sure to allot yourself 24 hours for the brining process before smoking.
But, don’t pause at poultry—you can cook your entire family feast on the Big Green egg for a succulent, signature smoked flavor that will have your guests begging for seconds. Here are just a few…
You can’t have turkey without stuffing! Try this classic, savory herbed stuffing recipe to dial your dressing up a notch.
Don’t forget the cruciferous greens! Set your convEGGtor to 400℉ and preheat your cast iron pan for this divine roasted bacon Brussels sprouts dish.
Thanksgrilling isn’t complete without dessert! For a melt-in-your-mouth, sweet, smoky flavor, try baking your pie in the Big Green Egg. This decadent dessert combines dark chocolate, your favorite bourbon, and plenty of pecans for a pie that packs panache.
