    My First Turkey Legs

    I finally tried turkey legs.  In case this turns away some readers... I used my propane grill with and iron smoker box, not my off-set smoker.  It has been too cold to count on charcoal fire and I was shooting for a high chance of success to have some good eats for what I hoped would be a...

    Thanks guys.  So far I have survived... but I did not let my wife eat any last night.... maybe I'll just keep it to myself anyway.  Good luck with that cold smoking 2salty - I think I will keep it simple for now, based on my limited success. DW

    Greetings

    Thanks everyone for the tips, links and encouragement.  Here are some photos of the Homemade Horizontal Smoker (HHS).  If the family allows, I plan to do some reading tomorrow and try some more tenderloins on Sunday.

    Greetings

    An other new guy checking in.  I'm Dave.  I live in Northern Colorado, where it was 65 and sunny today!  I have been a fairly successful griller (and generally enjoy cooking) and finally bought myself a smoker a month or so ago.  I have a horizontal off-set smoker that I believe to be home made...
