can't wait dude...........i posted some links to what other kinds of wood you can expect to find in western iowa btw.........in your smoking woods thread
 
Crap..

Has anybody ever done these before? I put them on about 1:00 EST
I opened it up 40 minutes ago to turn them..

I just opened it again to mop them with some Wishbone Italian dressing and put a fork thermometer in and it said it was 175. Are they done already?

I have the temp pretty regulated at 225-250. I expected to eat around 5 or 6. I'm not even hungry yet.
 
yeah.......they don't take long.......wrap in foil..........couple towels and then into a cooler.........also.....make sure where you checked the temps, you didn't get TOO close to the bone......that will give you a false reading
 
Thanks Walking Dude. You are the man.

I'm gonna double check the temp in the biggest one.

I'll post some q-view of the finished product later.

The wife will be happy if they are done early.. I was trying to get out of laying some carpet in the basement today.
 
Maybe I was too close to the bone the first time.

I checked a couple and I'm getting 135-150

Looks like the carpeting is gonna wait after all.

Those do look good! I always did like turkey legs.
 
What a hit these bad boys were.

One daughter was really mad when she found out I was smoking today and she won't be here..

The other daughter had a friend come for dinner who was very happy she was able to come.. so I guess it worked out.

When I cook Turkey or Chicken legs they turn out very rubbery. Not just the skin but the meat too. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks.
