Grilled since I was a teenager, but an old neighbor of mine moved away and left me their smoker so I’ve been giving it a go.

smoked some ribs earlier this week. I think they came out great (forgot pics).

now I have a small turkey I’m smoking. It’s just about done-maybe another 30-40 min. 6 lbs, been in since about 3, but as I’m new to this I’m still getting a hang of keeping temp even. When it’s gotten hot- I just put apples on the coals to kind of slowly bring temp down of the vent doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. That sound reasonable? Seeeeems to be working ok, and it can’t hurt the taste right? (Yes, usingwood as well as charcoal...hickory bc that’s what was at the store).

Anyway , y’all stay healthy!

pic is just the turkey in the brine last night :)

Its looking awesome, while i like maple wood for preparing smoking meat, i tried many recipes, but it was hard for me to prepare the exact as in photo, but giving proper time and scheduling every component, i made that, and it was really awesome in taste.
