Hey folks,
Y'all been a real big help in my learnin' how to smoke stuff so I figured I'd hit y'all up for my first turkey attempt. I'll preface and say that I do own Jeff's book, did a forum search etc, but there's so much out there it's a little daunting.
I'm pretty comfortable with my smoker by now, done a solid amount of ribs, chicken breast, wings, burgers and so on.
But now comes my biggest challenge to date, a Thanksgiving turkey for all of the guests. If it goes well, I'm the hero, if I fail it, my family will disown me....again.
Seriously though, I'm looking for quick n dirty tips, tricks and tried n true methods for anyone who's done a whole turkey and succeeded.
I'm working with an MES 40, have a propane grill and a gas stove/oven.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Shrimp Out
PS Any other Thanksgiving treats y'all toss in the smoker?
