We went to my mom & dad's for Thanksgiving this year. I was asked to bring the turkey. At the last minute, my mom told me that she was making a "back-up" turkey. "You know, just in case the Egg'd turkey doesn't turn out..."
Since there was going to be a traditional bird anyways, I decided to go non-traditional. I halved a 13# bird. One half is BBQ and the other half is buffalo. I made a compound butter for each using the rubs for each.
The BBQ bird was injected with a butter mixture, discs of the compound butter under the skin and rubbed with a BBQ rub.
The Buffalo bird was injected with a buffalo/butter mixture, discs of compound butter under the skin, rubbed with a spicy rub and basted with buffalo sauce towards the end of the cook.
The poor back-up bird was never touched...

I also coked a twice smoked ham. I added full cloves all over, basted with an apple/juice/honey mix and seasoned with a mixture of Meat Church Honey Hog, turbinado & brown sugar.The sugar made a honey baked ham type outer coating.
