I've been grilling both gas and charcoal for a while now. I was given one of the Sam's Club rebranded Smoke Hollow 4-in-1 grills a while back and just decided to start using the COS smoker. I have yet to do any of the suggested mods to the grill, but so far I think I'll start by sealing up the fire box a little better since I see a lot of the smoke coming out of lid.

I'm going to attempt to smoke the big bird this Thursday, so hopefully I've figured enough out from this site (and a little experience) to be successful!

DarthSudo, welcome to SMF fellow NorCal'er!  Glad you are here and looking forward to smoking your turkey this week.  Don't sweat it and just let the smoker do it's thing. 

Have fun!

Thanks! I'm in Roseville. We're practically neighbors. I'm looking forward to smoking my first bird this year and the collective wisdom from this site has been invaluable.

DarthSudo, we are neighbors. I'm in Roseville too across the street from WC Oaks GC. I use SAC as location because it is more recognizable. Might be time to share a beer!
