    Ash wood.

    Anyone ever smoked with it? I have no clue what kind of ash, just found it on Facebook Marketplace. Don't wanna go get it if it ain't worth cooking with, haha.

    Yeah I kept an eye on it. It wasn't as black as it looks, that's a white plate, on a pale blue counter in a dark kitchen, hey I never claimed to be a good photographer lmao.

    No, I had a leave in thermometer I was going by, multiple probes. I left one in to monitor the temp and one in the turkey to check that. I moved the one in the leg a couple of times to make sure it was right. I really think I should have pulled it earlier.

    Completely disagree. I've had tons of delicious wild Turkey in my day, just new to smoking them, but I'll nail it down. You just send all them you don't want my way, I'll take em. I'd take a wild Turkey over store bought any day, at least I know their story, haha. Squirrel is great too.

    I'm very familiar with wild Turkey, grew up eating it I just never tried smoking it. I'm gonna keep playing around and see what I can come up with. I'd imagine "safe internal temp" Probably isn't as crucial with a wild bird, lol.

    Wild Turkey Leg and Thigh

    Alright folks, last Sunday I attempted to smoke a wild Turkey thigh and leg combo given to me by my father. Longs story short it turned into Turkey jerky. I still ate it but for the most part it was chewy and tough. I was finding conflicting info on the ole interwebs. I ended up keeping the...

    Well it looks like I'm stuck with the good I got for my 1st run. Cut it down to fit in the smoker. About 99% sure it's hickory, I'm fairly certain it's either hickory, cherry or red oak and I don't think any of those are bad for smoking so we're going to give her a shot. Cut all the bad parts...
