Found the site on google , glad to be here. Happy Thanksgiving to all , my bird went on at 3am , 11 hr brine about 8hrs of smokin . I use a vertical gas smoker my kids got me from Cabelas. Favorite woods , whatever is burning, I use alot of apple , cherry , peach , alder , and the other usual suspects. Mostly smoke ribs , chickin and pork butts at least 3 times a month. Look forward to reading about your ideas and success. Thanks Frank
