I have a 13 pound turkey that I am going to attempt to smoke this weekend. I have been through numerous posts and all the methods seem great, but I am still not sure how I want to smoke it.
In the past I have spatchcocked chickens and smoked them on my Weber kettle grill with great success. ...
Getting ready to to my 1st brisket and I am looking for an easy rub to put on it. Nothing too spicy. Any suggestions?
Any tips on how to do the brisket would be helpful. Proabably doing a 4-5 lb brisket.
Thanks in advance.

In one reply (5/23) I stated that it didnt look like my chips burned at all, so no it does not look like your picture. The chips look the same as when I put them in at the beginning.
I do keep the lid on, it is the original chip box. And yes I am ready to chuck it :)

SQUIB: I see you use wood chunks, I have been using wood chips. Is that the typical amount of chunks you use? I may try chunks next time.
How much smoke time do you get with that amount of chunks ?
When I use chips, I fill up to the top. I'm wondering if I have so much in there that it...
I think I need to open the bottom vents some more, I'm thinking that may be part of my problem.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have some ribs lined up for the weekend. I'll try to get it down this weekend.
I may also try a cake pan, I know you (coffee_junkie) had issues but I may still try.
I have had the bottom vents all the way closed, or as far as they can be with the tabs. There is a small opening on the vents because to the tabs on them keep them open a bit.
Maybe that is part of my problem. I'll try opening the vents more next time.
As far as wood, I am using a apple...
Thanks all for the suggestions...
Just for giggles, I boiled water and put the probes of the ET-73 in it. It read 212, perfect. I was thinking that they might be off.
Yes, the box is on the grid correctly.
I'm wondering if there are too many chips in there, is that posible? I do load it...
I just took the loin off, looks good.
I looked in the smoke box and it doesn't look like any chips were used. I expected to see ash from the chips, at least some.
Does this seem right? Still seems like something is amis.

The loin is almost done, so we will see.
Wondering if the TBS will give the smoke flavor, it must. I always thought more smoke is better.
Learning alot here.
