    first time smoking a turkey

    Get ready for people to chime in and tell you you "can't" smoke a turkey that large at low temps.  I think pecan is excellent to smoke poultry with; its more intense than fruit woods but still mild enough to avoid overpowering other flavors.  I don't think spritzing or mopping is going to do...

    Those are some big chickens!  I usually pick up the 4-6 pounders, that's what those times above were based on.

    Turkey Success with some issues

    Me and my uncle have this same debate doing on with the family.  He likes a VERY heavy smoke and uses the nastiest hickory he can get his hands on and chokes down his exhaust resulting in a turkey that looks like stained wood.  I let my smoker breathe and seek out higher quality pecan or some...

    Forget about the skin; pull or chop the meat and tell everyone that's what "real barbeque" is! lol

    Thanksgiving Turkey with TBS...not the TV channel.

    I know what you are talking about.  I've noticed the quality of the wood has a huge role in this.  For example, from my experience when I would get some cheap wood from the local store it would ignite very quickly and would cause large swings in my cooking temps but if I order some quality wood...

    Thanksgiving Turkey with TBS...not the TV channel.

    I have a side firebox smoker also and I've noticed when adding more wood it only smokes white for a couple minutes until it catches up with everything else.  I never thought anything of it because it was such a short amount of time compared to the overall cooking time.  As such, it didn't seem...

    Thanksgiving Fish

    Thanks; it got rave reviews from the extended family and we didn't even heat it back up, just ate it chilled, and it melted in your mouth.  I've done a lot of salmon and trout like that but the texture on this one surpassed them all for some reason.

    Thanksgiving Fish

    Steelhead trout marinated overnight in my asian zing fish marinade.  I'm aware I need larger pans for marinating but that ain't going to stop me from enjoying it. Smoked with peach wood at 190 for about 2-2.5 hours 'till it crossed 140 then wrapped in foil to rest and wait for the feast...
