    Not quite a newbie, but....

    I use a Master Built propane smoker. I use a 8 inch cast iron fry pan to put my wood chips in. They just smolder and don't catch fire. You said your chips only last about 20 minutes so try the fry pan it really helps.

    First time smoking a turkey. Need some help please!

    I am using a Master Built XL propane smoker. The racks are 15 1/4" wide and 22" long. I just measured the turkey (still in the wrapper) and it is 10" wide and 12" long so I am hoping it will fit. My wife bought the turkey and didn't know we should have gotten a 11 to 14 lb instead of a big one.

    I can't get snack sticks right for the life of me.

     I was told that after stuffing your sticks to put them in the fridge over night. It should help with the flavor. Then take them out I dab them off with a paper towle. Then hang them up for about two hours till they are dry. They won't take on any smoke if they are wet.
