SGMan,
Welcome from Chesapeake! Do some more research and examine budget/time/type of foods and lots more variables.
My first smoker was homemade but it worked and I was hooked.
What ever you decide remember to document your smokes with pictures to share with us...no pictures it didn't...
Brown Rooster,
At first glance it looks like you have 2 hams not Boston Butts(pork shoulder). Maybe someone with butchering background can help out.
Keep trying...
Teddy
Welcome Marianne,
Looks like you have a wonderful prize. Looking forward to seeing some of your cooks.
Remember if you don't post pictures...it never really happened!
Again welcome.
Teddy
Sasquatch68,
Welcome from Virginia... don't let brisket intimidate you! It's not that hard. You have a good smoker and years of background...lots of good advice here...make it a Christmas present for yourself.
Again, welcome and remember if there aren't any pictures it didn't happen.

cooker613,
I've done a chicken galantine stuffed with spinach and mushrooms in my smoker, but not a turkey. The deboneing technique would still be the same. Great tutorial on youtube by Jacques Pepin.

Frank,
I too use charcoal for heat/wood for flavor...I get everything going with a full charcoal chimney of hot coals. It takes my Lang about 45 minutes to get up to cooking temp. I look for almost clear (pure heat) comming from my exhaust before adding meat to the CC. Place your next round...
Carol,
Welcome from VA. Send us all the questions you have, we love answering them. Remember to take photos of your successes and failures to share with us because " no pictures it didn't happen!"
Again, welcome.
Teddy
What's Her Name will do the traditional turkey for her/daughter/daughter in law/grandaughters. I will opt for smoked lamb shanks or duck for son/son in law/ me.

Kit,
You may be comparing apples to oranges. The Umai bags are for drying cured meat in a refregerator. Collagen and natural casings are for general sausage making. Collagen used for sausages or sticks you want to have a snap to it (think slim jim) natural hog or sheep intestines for brats...
