Hey Guys;
Just thought I'd let you all know how my first attemp at smoking a turkey went.
Short Version:
Looked horrible BUT tasted Wonderful.
What I learned:
Charcoal (non Lump) does NOT make a good base.
Must have a good base of hot coals before starting.
Once I had a good base of coals, Temp control was fairly easy.
Hickory smoke sure smells good.
I attribute how juice my turkey was to brining.
I'll be attempting a Boston Butt for Pull'n next.
Thanks for you all who helped me get started with replies to my posts.
I'll try to post them in the right section from now on.
Later,
Bill
