I did have water in the pan and it didnt cross my mind until you mentioned that. Also, did run a thermo on the grate which stayed within 10 of what the cooker was set at so temps inside were not the issue. Thank you guys for all the suggestions.

Gotta love a tough butt! Great Job

Looks great! Love that bark

This all started because of the love a beautiful woman and she doesnt understand what she has created and enabled here but here goes: The wife wanted to get me something to cook poolside that wouldnt be an "all day operation" for me and something a little "easier" on me to cook with just for...

Id like for you guys to meet the newest addition to our lineup. The guys at Black Warrior Smokers knocked this one out of the park. If your in need or ever thought about a stick burner competition/recreational/make your neighbors jealous cooker these guys can do it. This is my 2nd one from them...

165 in the Thigh is low. 165 in the thickest part of the breast is what I shoot for, and then usually let it run up to 170ish

Go easy on any smoke you use, even if its apple and cherry, turkey is very delicate and you can kill a bird with to much smoke. Just my 2 cents there tho. I run everything wide open and screamin hot 350 range

You cant cook on time unfortunately, esp with the Thanksgiving turkey. Cook to temp of 165-170 on the thickest part of the breast and check it 3 times in different parts of the breast just to be safe. But, if your wanting a guesstimate, id say 6-8 hours, shorter if you cook it hotter. I cook...

Turkey is a delicate meat and to much smoke, esp heavy smoke like hickory, will kill the bird and the taste. I use lots of...

Mike, Walmart typically carries it here in the south, might try amazon

Good Morning, Since it is that time of the year I thought Id throw my 2 cents out on the annual smoked turkey recipe. Every year my football team sells whole smoked breasts and I smoke them the day before Thanksgiving. We have done anywhere from 30 to 100 birds in a day. Over the years I have...

very nice!

i usually heat mine back up after the food comes off, take a grill brush and clean the grates and scrape off the reverse flow plate and get it out of the cooker. Let it roll itself back down for the night

Back in May I started shopping around for a smoker that wasnt on a trailer but still had plenty of room for big events and tailgates. Under my neighborhoods HOA rules, I cant have a trailer sitting at my house. Thus, a custom idea was needed. I needed a fairly large smoker barrel and charcoal...
