Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???
I decided to try the techniques mentioned above on another bird. The picture is of the bird after sitting about 18 hours in the refrigerator. I think the picture speaks for itself.- steveaustin

Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???
One thing I wanted to mention is that the meat tastes great (except the one that accidently was overcooked ;) )! When I brought the turkey over to the inlaws last year everyone asked if I had burned it! I honestly didn't know at the time, since it was the first time I smoked with my new smoker...- steveaustin

Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???
Some excellent input. Here are some of the parameters of my smokes. Smoker was set to 275 F the entire time. I don't know if it's off or not. I guess I better figure out if it's off or not. Out of my four smoke, twice I've brined and twice I have not. All four turned out black. I'm using a...- steveaustin

Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???
I used to use an old red cylinder Brinkmann smoker. It took forever to cook a turkey but they were beautiful in color! Now, I'm using a Masterbuilt 30" smoker at 275 F, with the AMPS setup (smoking on both ends): I smoked two turkeys for Thanksgiving in 2012 and two this year. All four turned...- steveaustin

What am I doing wrong? Help with MES 30 and A-MAZE-N smoker
Thanks all! It appears that I have too much air flow (fuel) for the AMNPS. I'll put the wood chip tray back in and pull the wood chip loader a couple of inches out. Also, I won't worry about the flame burning out. I'll just concentrate on getting the cherry embers going!- steveaustin

You said "trays". Are you referring to both the wood chip tray and loader? Or one or the other? I thought the instructions said to remove the wood chip tray but I remove the loader too, which may allow too much air to get inside of the smoker. I've used "oak" from Todd and two other types from...- steveaustin

What am I doing wrong? Help with MES 30 and A-MAZE-N smoker
I own a MES 30 and the A-MAZE-N (5x8 - 3 row) smoker. Overall, it's been good but I've had some issues with the four times that I've smoked with it. Some further background information. I have the wood tray and wood chip loader completely pulled out and the top vent is fully open when smoking...- steveaustin
