    Smoking turkey breast instead of whole turkey?

    Thanks all, I'll go for it! Not too worried about whether there will be enough smoke flavor, my wife recently had a turkey cooked similarly (but whole) on a RecTec and really liked it (hence the request).

    Smoking turkey breast instead of whole turkey?

    My wife has requested I smoke a turkey this Thanksgiving on my RecTec Trailblazer. She's specifically requested their cajun turkey recipe, which calls for a whole turkey injected and seasoned with Tony Chachere. I've never smoked a turkey, nor injected any meat, and the Trailbazer limits me on...

    Marinated boneless chicken breats in pellet grill?

    I know smoking boneless/skinless chicken breasts has been discussed here before, but was hoping for a little guidance on my particular goal...

    Casual smoker... Advice on GMG DB?

    Hi, Just joined up hoping to get some advice on a smoker. After realizing I don't like babysitting and fighting my Weber Kettle (with a Slow n Sear), I want something to set and forget for smoking. I'm close to getting a GMG Daniel Boone, but after reading about hot spots, combined with a...
