I haven't bought a smoker yet, but I'm going to get one. I want to find one that is big enough to smoke a turkey and easy enough for an amateur to learn on. I'm like everyone else, I have a tight budget. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I live in the pacific northwest. My name is Ricky. I'll be 49 in July. I eat a lot of dry, badly cooked meat. I'm hoping a smoker will change that.
