    Doing my first turkey today

    The turkey was a hit with the family but I am not 100% satisfied with it. The sweet heat I was hoping to get with the basting didn't come through like I wanted.

    New to smoking and this forum

    I am Travis. I live in Amelia, Virginia. I was given a smoker 2 Christmases ago and just got around to assembling and using it a couple of months ago. I now wish I hadn't wasted so much time. It is a blast! So far I have done 2 butts, 2 chickens, and 4 racks of spare ribs and it is addictive!
