    Wanted to say Hi and maybe get a little advice

    Dave, welcome!! I have done several Turkey's already since Thanksgiving here in COLD Omaha NE.... You are best to get a good 24hour brine in with a big bird! I use about 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of Brown Sugar, and whatever spices you want the bird to OSMOSIS... Poultry seasoning works well...

    New Smoker (clueless)

    Rporter81.... I started out with the Brinkmann Gourmet, got mine at Lowe's for $37 I love it... very easy to use, get great heat temps, for a good prolonged period of time. For the money, you can't beat it! Good luck!

    outside temp?

    This works well for me also here in COLLLLD NEBRASKA! Lots of temps in the teens and negative numbers... and I still venture out! If you have a Harbor Freight in your area... http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93756 You can wrap your smoker in one of these.... for $20 not bad...

    Smokine an eye round roast

    I just did one if these last weekend! It turned out sooooo good. I took a very simple approach... I rubbed it with some Rib Rub, got a really good coating on it, nice and thick. Depending on what temp you want to bring it too.. I did Medium. You can't go wrong with a roast.... just don't...

    Keeping Smoked Meat after it is cooked...

    So, I asked a question last week about going to a restaurant here in Omaha, that the meat was just not Smokey enough. I asked the owner about how he retained the meat after it is smoked... see this thread if you want to read more into it.... http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...765#post148765...
