    Pop up thermometers in turkeys, leave in ???

    I also always leave them in, to keep the juices in. Those pop ups are SOOOOOOOO unreliable I would never trust 1. Case in point I have had them pop well before the 165 I pull my turkeys at. I place my maverick 732 probe in the turkeys after 4 hours in the smoker, I have seen the pop up out at...

    732 issue

    I'm with the others, I'd be contacting them again. I got good customer service from them. I lost my bracket for the smoker temp, I told them I had lost it and wanted to get it replaced. The gal took all my info and said she would get back to me as there wasn't a price listed for it. About a week...

    gas burner losing flame over time

    Try running the burner out of the smoker. If it burns fine then its most likley an oxygen issue which I too am betting on. Another thought is try running it with the door wide open.

    Is 90 minutes too long to rest a turkey?

    You should be fine. I have let them sit wrapped in foil for couple hours before when they finished ahead of time.

    My Murphy's Law 2014 Thanksgiving smoke with Q view.

    First off PLEASE excuse my typos and grammar, I'm running on about 2 hours sleep, and that wasn't in bed, so I'm kinda brain dead.  I started this smoke at 8:00 Am on 11/26/14. I was smoking 2 turkeys 1- 18# and 1- 21#. They went into the brine on 11/22/14 mid afternoon. The brine was my Honey...

    Fattie???

    Basically it's a sausage roll with filling and bacon weave. This will probably help you understand better than my explanation. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/87031/rollin-a-fatty-my-version

    22.5 lb Turkey

    I do 20+# turkeys all the time. With that said i always brine them and in the brine is some cure #1 (pink salt). I do this so I don't have to worry if the bird doesn't get to 140 in 4 hours. Now most of the time when I probe the bird at 4 hours its right around 140. If you smoke in the 250 - 300...
