Nope. Unfortunately, developed an allergy to oranges a couple years ago. I used to guzzle OJ like it was water since I like it so much, but now, that would cause WAY too much grief. This developing allergies later in life thing sucks! But hey, the good thing is there are other juices I have no probs with - Nantucket Nectar's Pom Cherry juice is awesome on its own, AND an excellent mixer, for example.

Find the seem on the bottle, pull all of the labeling off, and slide the back of a heavy knife down the seem onto the rim of the bottle, quickly and forcefully, (think chopping kindling).
That one was cool because the neck stayed on the cork, pretty rare that happens...
Try it!
OK, more drinking, Turkey comes out in 2 more hours.... more drinkin

near disaster averted-
I decided to transfer the turkey to the oven to get it cooking properly at 325F. The bird still had to set up top of the gravy juice.
Here it is on the counter,
When moving it all down to the oven, the turkey started to slide off the pan, so I dropped everything onto the oven door and caught the turkey before it slid onto the floor. The gravy juice spilled onto the oven door and my leg. It wasn't that hot as it had only been in the ~250F smoker. Looks like these are a write-off-
finally got it all back into the oven.

2:30 pm local time and I'm DONE! 
Planned on making potatoes, and green beans, bagged it as we weren't all that hungry.
So we had pear wood smoked turkey, stuffing, gravy and (off camera) dinner rolls.
and the best part----LEFTOVERS!!!!!
Dude is snoozing and the kid is in his room blasting techno-rock. It's a good day.
ps- forgot to add- I got a High-5 from honey, he said it was the best tasting, most tender turkey he's ever tasted. ANd I gotta admit, it was the most tender white meat I've ever tasted also. Just follow the recipe/procedure in the link I posted. It works!

geeme where's your grub? i know you have something creative concocted.
I'm so impressed with that bird that now I'm thinking of doing it for Christmas, at the in-law's in Oregon. Don't know if they would appreciate the smoke though, plus, prime rib is a lot easier. And Safer.
