I was asked by the person throwing it. Not sure if the dad will be there or not. But honestly idc I love smoking meats lolGuys have you covered, but as devil's advocate, smoked food for baby shower would be no go unless this is a shower for men. We call them diaper parties here.
I bought a probe. N forgot it outside took the part with the battery in it inside n left the probe inside the grill but now I cant find the device part ggrrr lolWord of caution. Depending on how your setting up your WSM. Your top rack may be hotter then your bottom rack, or visa-versa.
Water in pan = Top grate hotter(15 to 25*)
No Water = Bottom rack will be hotter(about the same)

+1 Schlotz.Going to throw out a completely different approach, don't know if you have the capability but something to consider. Poultry skin and smokers have always been the tough spot. I finally came to the conclusion to go another way. I use the rotisserie in my gas grill with a tray of pellets for the smoke. Both the bird and tray are placed in the center with the underlying burner turned off. Bird always comes out perfectly smoked, with fantastic crispy skin and very moist meat.
I part turkeys out. Thighs get left on the drum and gets Boned out and tied. The thigh/leg goes in for 1 hour then I add the breast. Both come out together. Bones and wings get Roasted then turned into stock for Dressing and gravy. I base the timing on the breast weight at 350. I cook my breasts to 155 with a rest. The temp rises to the 160's...JJ
