I just bought a used Brinkmann Cimmaron. I’m very excited to start smoking. I’m hoping to practice this weekend and hoping to smoke a turkey for Easter.

Welcome! Post a picture of your smoker. Smoking a turkey is easier than you think so read and ask questions! This is a great site and lots of very experienced folks to help out.

I've been smoking for years, but recently joined the group to learn more
You got a much Brinkmann model than me. But, you have just started the journey.
Use the search feature and read what the other have learned to enhance the smoking experience.

How did it go for you?

How did it go for you?

It went awesome!
I was trying to keep my temp at 300, but failed. It stayed between 225 and 270 for most of the cook. The turkey reached temp about 2 hours before I thought it would, so I wrapped it in foil and took it out of the smoker. It was very moist and delicious. It was a huge success.
