A hardy hello from Mississippi!

Found this site a couple of weeks ago. Just got interested in smoking meats and want to learn all I can. I have a next door neighbor with a great deal of experience, and I turn to that experience often, but what can I say.... I love forums and meeting new friends in the sites that elevate my knowledge in the hobbies I love; this being a new one to add to what I already love.

Don't know what part of MS you are from but we have a nice little group in SE Louisiana and Southern MS that want to try to get together once in a while.  I'll send you a link to the group if interested.

I just finished my first turkey. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. I can see it exploding like the one on The Griswold's Christmas.

Well, I'll have to say that the smoked turkey was the best I've ever had! The skin was a lot like leather, but it sure did the job and held in the moisture. I hate to brag on my own efforts but I was very proud of the way it turned out. I soaked in a brine solution for about 3.5 days, injected it with some of my homemade wine, filled it with onions, and then smoked it for 8 hours. That meat almost fell off the bone. Thanks for the advice I got here. Now, I can't wait to smoke something else. This hobby is going to cost me like my wine hobby. I'll always have something on the smoker and in the fermenter.
