November: Turkey Smoking with T. Buck
Meet Todd Bucknell, father to one of our new salesmen, Matt Bucknell. Todd has been cooking and smoking all sorts of amazing meals with his smoker for years. Follow along this new segment of Saw Systems Newsletter for delicious and easy recipes to make for you and your loved ones.
Instructions:
Turkey goes in a brine for 24 hours. I use a generic herb brine mix, nothing crazy.
Brine for 24 hours in the mixture. Once you remove Turkey, it MUST be patted dry and left in the fridge for another 24 hours to dry completely.
Next step is to inject Turkey, I use a flavored butter marinade. Inject all areas of the Turkey and you will see skin swell up to let you know injection is working well. (I do this the morning of the cook to allow the Turkey to get close to room temp before it goes on the smoker.)
I stuff the Turkey with green apples, thyme, rosemary, and white onion and celery. This is done so you fill the cavity of the Turkey up while smoking since stuffing is not recommended on the smoker. It gives a nice flavor and helps cook the Turkey evenly.
Next step is to use spray olive oil all over the skin lightly. After that I lightly dust the Turkey with baking powder which helps to crisp up the skin.
Smoke at 425 for the first 45 minutes then turn temp down to 350 for the remainder of the cook. With an accurate meat temperature probe, cook until the thickest part of the thighs and breast are at 165 degrees.
I baste the Turkey using spray olive oil or cooking spray every 45-1 hour during the cook!
SHUR-BRITE™ SURFACE CONDITIONING
An article by: Superior Abrasives
A VERSATILE MATERIAL FOR A MULTITUDE OF APPLICATIONS
CHARACTERISTICS
Like other nonwoven abrasives, SHUR-BRITE™ Surface Conditioning consists of fibers, grains and resins, but is more aggressive. The unique characteristic is the integrated woven substrate, or scrim reinforcement, which creates strength and one-sided use, similar to SHUR-KUT™ Coated Abrasives. Variations of SHUR-BRITE™ Surface Conditioning reinforcement include Standard Scrim, Low Stretch (LS) and Flex (XF).
FEATURES
Surface conditioning materials are considered the workhorse of SHUR-BRITE™ Nonwoven Abrasives. Consider the same form and function of coated abrasives, with the added benefits of conformability and forgiveness, reduced loading, and consistent performance. SHUR-BRITE™ Surface Conditioning products are not as aggressive as most SHUR-KUT™ Coated Abrasives but showcase their versatility between heavy grinding and fine finishing with several material grades available.
- • Consistent finishes throughout product life
- • Lower operational heat than coated abrasives
- • Reduced loading, smearing and discoloration
- • Reduced process stages
- • Suitable for wet or dry applications
- • Conformable cutting action better for off-hand finesse
APPLICATIONS
- • Mold & die restoration polishing
- • Blending coated abrasive scratch patterns
- • Surface preparation before painting or coating
- • Architectural & aesthetic finishing
- • Blending parting lines on cast parts
- • Stock removal & weld blending
- • Corrosion, rust & oxidation removal
- • Spatter removal & cleanup
- • Removing flash & runners from cast parts
- • Gasket v adhesives removal
- • Paint, scale or surface coating removal
- • Off-hand finishing & cleaning

Fall Facts
By: Task Easy
1. Americans typically use the word “fall”, while the British use the word “autumn.” Both terms date back to the 16th century but before that, it was called “harvest.”
2. Fall was called “harvest” because of the “harvest moon” that occurs when the full moon is closest to the autumn equinox. Before man-made lighting, this moonlight was essential to a prosperous harvest.
3. Weight gain around this time of year may not be due to comforting fall foods like pumpkin pie and cider. Researchers have found that lack of vitamin D slows breaking down of fat.
4. According to The Weather Channel, pumpkins are the most craved food during the fall.
5. The yellow and orange colors you see in the leaves are always there but are overpowered by the abundance of green from the chlorophyll, which decreases as the sun weakens and days grow shorter.
6. Red and purple leaves are only that color because of the presence of sugars and sap that are trapped within the leaves.
7. Many birds will prepare for their winter migration during the fall.
8. Evergreen trees such as pines, cedars, and spruces stay green because their leaves (needles) are covered with thick wax and contain materials that prevent freezing when it gets cold.
9. Halloween takes place in the fall and comes from ancient Celtic tradition.
