    Brined, Cured Canadian Style Christmas Turkey in my MES 30"...Right here in California.

    Brined using cure for that giant smoked turkey leg flavor through the whole bird. 20 pound turkey took 7.5 hours in my MES 30".

    Smoking Noob Canuck in Cali

    I'm a Canuck who grilled and cooked on fires year round, but have never owned a smoker. I live in SoCal now and just picked up a MES 30. I am most interested in smoking fish and seafood I catch myself, pork tenderloins, Canadian bacon, some smoked turkeys and chickens, maybe some tri-tip and...
