    Master Forge Double Door Smoker Manual

    Thanks for the replies. I attempted to cure it, but could not get the temperature over 200 F.  I tried two different tanks with the same results.  I am wondering if this was a return to Lowes that became a floor model.  That would explain the slightly used appearance.  I think I will be...

    Master Forge Double Door Smoker Manual

    My wife got me a Master Forge smoker for Christmas.  She got a really good deal on it at Lowes ($118) since it was the last one they had and the floor model.

    Wkydog, I noticed your post about pheasants and it reminded me of the time I tried to smoke a wild turkey. A friend shot, skinned and brined it. I smoked it and it turned out just like leather. Through my research, I found that you should always leave the skin on and wrap it in oil soaked...

    Wild Turkey

    A friend of mine shot an 18 lb wild turkey and would like me to smoke it.  Is there a safe way to smoke this turkey?  I know it is best if the turkey is under 12 lbs so it stays out of the unsafe zone below 140 degrees, for too long. Can I start it in the oven and then transfer to the smoker? ...
