    Question- Smoking time for a Turkey

    I have smoked Turkey almost as many times as ribs. I Always brine, then flash heat the Turkey in the oven 15 minutes on high heat 475, which eliminates the rubber skin.Cook time for a 12 to 13 pound Turkey is 3.5 hours, but use your thermometer.

    Need Help want to make Chikcen Wings - EDITED: Added Q-VIEW - Amazing Wings

    I usually put my wings in the oven for 15 minutes, very hot 450.  Then spice when I can touch them without getting burnt and into the smoker for 2.5 hours at 225.  Never had a problem

    Almond wood?

    I've used Almond Wood in the past, with good results the day of cooking.  I've had the smoke flavor turn a slightly "bitter" after a few days in the frig.  I don't understand what caused this , but was able to repeat the occurance.

    Hello From So Cal!

    Just checking in to say hi from Palmdale Ca. I've been smoking for several years in my Cookshack 50.  I've had 3 smokers before that, all good, but I prefer the electric unit. Anyone have any good ideas foe Mothers day? Glad to be on board!
