Good luck, wish I knew how to upload as well from my Iphone.

I am thinking you can plug it into the usb port and load them to photobucket that way but have not tried it

Put my turkey on at 5:30 this am, I preheat my smoker to 270 overnight so it is hot and ready to go

Mine is getting close to done, in fact is pretty much done now and I just turned my temp down and keep adding wood (I like apple)

I spritz mine with pure apple juice every hour and then once it is pretty much done every 30 minutes or so to keep it moist until we are ready to eat
