True to my BBQ / Smoking roots I slow smoked my Thanksgiving turkey on my Primo Grill / Smoker and for Christmas we did the local favorite, Lechon Asado a la Varita. Both were exceptional and we documented it on photographs for you.
Thanksgiving Turkey:
I like doing the Turkey on the Primo ceramic cooker. It really keeps the juiciness in the meat. End result it looks oven baked, has that great smoke flavor, and it frees up the oven for other stuff you have going on. I can do the whole slow smoke thing on a small patio. Bottom line is the Primo make the best turkey we have ever had.
On the eve of Thanksgiving marinade your meat overnight.
Start smoking @ 7:30 am / 250 (F)
11:00 am kick it up to350 (F)
12:00-350(F) 12:30-340 (F) 12:54-330 (F) 1:30-312 (F) The temp holds steady with adding charcoal
2:30 PM all done 7 Hr. cook time.
Enjoy the pictures from start to finish.

Great news for all you fans of BBQ out there. ASAO Smokehouse is NOW open on Road 149 at Km 18.5 in Ciales PR.
They had the opening December 17th and I had a chance to talk with the Owners & Operators of ASAO Smokehouse, Rafa & Brenda Gracia, and her husband Peter.
It’s a short and easy trip, about 45 min. to 1 hour from San Juan. Take highway 22 towards Arecibo and get off on exit 48 Ciales PR. Head south on road #149 to Km. 18.5, it’s on your right with lots of parking.
We took out some hungry BBQ fans from the Caribbean BBQ Association, The Backyard Grillers BBQ team and some of the BBQ Freaks team to check it out. We ate & drank, the reviews are in, and the marks are high! Read all about it then get to ASAO Smokehouse in Ciales and eat some meat!
Congratulations to Sr. Peter Vivoni, wife Brenda, and their entire family for doing a fantastic job with ASAO Smokehouse. It’s a great new family owned and operated BBQ Restaurant with their focus on using fresh locally produced meats and vegetables and attention to patron service details.
This really is a family run business. There were about 20 family members there Dec. 17th cooking, serving, and running every aspect the business. Albert Figueroa, Luis and Jane take care of the bar. Angel Gracia is the General Manager.
The restaurant sits on the same site that used to be another family business, a machine shop. General Manager, Angel, and his son Rafael who used to run the machine shop, were instrumental along with Peter in the design and building of the main smoker, 4 custom Lechon Asado cooking pits, and 3 custom built whole chicken cooking racks. You can see from the pictures of the pits and chicken cooking racks that it was well thought out and they are ready and able to turn out substantial pounds of well-cooked BBQ. All of this came about after the Vivoni’s got hooked on BBQ in 2009 when they went to their first BBQ Competition at La Bodega de Mendez.
