    How do you clean your electric smoker?

    Thank you for the feedback.  I'll run to the store and get a putty knife and give it a try.  And if anyone is reading this and thinks it would be cool to have a window in your smoker so you can see what's cooking, forget it!  it will get covered in smoke and unless you scrub the heck out of it...

    20 pound turkey and scared to death!!

    the weather here was in the 20's and I had it in a 5 gallon bucket with ice water in it on my front porch.  Had the weather not been so cold not sure what I would have done except put ice on it.  It worked! No body got sick! LOL  and yes I was nervous about it. but it worked out.

    20 pound turkey and scared to death!!

    Just wanted to share that my family loved the turkey.  it was moist and very flavorful.  I had never brined before and will definitely use this method again!  The ham was awesome too, but for some reason I could not get it to 165.  Thank goodness it was already a smoked ham so we had it anyway...

    20 pound turkey and scared to death!!

    I started it at 275 and it was about 150 within the 4 hours easily.  I lowered the temp to 230 at about 4 hours and cooked it another 2.  it looks and smells fabulous, but next time I'll try to buy smaller birds

    thank you all for your input!  I did brine it over night, but didn't stick it in the fridge. (no room!)  I washed it and patted it dry and let it sit for about an hour.  I used a rub that a buddy of mine told me about and it's in the smoker now.  Almost done after about 5 hours.  the first 3...
