    first turkey!

    I've smoked at least 10 turkeys now.  I aim for a 14lb.  I brine then the night before and previously I had a crappy brickman smoker from the depot and it was hard to get it over 225.  I'd smoke it right about 225 for 8 hrs. I lace bacon over the bird during the entire smoke.  Comes out perfect...

    Whole turkey smoking HELP needed

    I've been smoking 2 turkeys for each thanksgiving for many years now.  I've done all this in my cheap brickman coal smoker (dont buy one).  I do 8 hours at about 200-225.  I cover the turkey with about a pound of bacon.  I usually smoke a pork loin covered in bacon on the top rack to drip juice...

    New WSM ?s

    I'll be going high tech on this smoker.  I just ordered some parts to get K type thermocouple probes linked into my 1-wire bus that runs on a raspberry pi  mini computer.  This data goes into my ISY home automation controller so that I will be able to blink house lights, email / text alerts, etc...

I conned the wife into letting me spend more...

    Hey smokers, need some guidance before I build a smoker

    thanks guys! Is there a thread that goes over the pros and cons of all the types of smokers?  I did a couple searches and didn't come up with much.  How does reverse flow work?  Is there an advantage to a side box burner vs the vertical setup?  Is is better to have a water smoker or not?  my...

    Hey smokers, need some guidance before I build a smoker

    I've been smoking meats for about 5 years on the cheap charcoal brickman smoker.  The doors are falling off and its just a piece of crap.  I looked at the prices of the double wall smokers like the backwoods and was horrified at their prices for a metal box.  I'm a decent fabricator and plan on...
