    Big Bird....low and slow?

    Josh, I am a true believer in the lower and slower the better. I pre heat my smoker for my turkeys to 300 and cook tmp of 225-250 until internal temp of 170 is reached. I never have had a problem with the birds going bad. I also sell these birds so I instill the bacteria factor into my customers...

    Need help identifying big cooker...

    Even if it is not a reverse flow it could be converted and if the price is right it would be a steal maybe if heavy enough you could make money on it at the local scrap yard as steel has gone up in price so you could get that Lang.

    Well by now most of you will have noticed the log grate and the cardboard.... it helps keep the charcoal which is only about 2-3 lbs close to the wood at intial firing. it is fired by a propane torch for about 5 minutes with the wood over the coal. You will also notice I use only all natural...
