Family may change their mind once they have a low & slow smoked ham. Its not the same as you'll get from the grocery store.
Lots of good references around here for turkeys and ham smoking. Heck we even make our own hams. Great folks here for helping. I strongly suggest you sign up for Todds E smoking course. Yes, its the basics but its the fastest way to get onboard there is. The search engine is full of helpful threads about everything from making hams to canning green beans, and occasionally there will be something about smoking.
Make sure you list your smoker/pit so people who are fluent in That particular pit's usage can isolate you and give greater advise. There are tons of folks here. I can assure that no matter what the question about a smoker, a meat, a wood, etc. there is someone usually who has asked it before.
All the guru's around here are extremely helpful, Gurus? They are the ones that have a tag under their name either as a Moderator or OTBS. They may not know all the answers, but they know all the folks to call and find out.
Folks here all enjoy smoking, when they can't cook second best thing is talking about cooking or looking at pictures of someone Else's cook. So everyone will most likely enjoy discussing whatever you want to talk about.
Biggest thing to remember is there is no one perfect way to smoke. So when folks offer different side to the same discussion its always respectful. We all understand that no one way is the only way. Learning to master your pit, is about learning what it takes for your pit to produce the meat YOU want, then you'll be a pit master.
Smoking requires no stress and is very relaxing, if you are stressing, you are doing it wrong.
So... nice to meet you, hope you enjoy yourself here, and you can post loads of pictures to inspire us all.
No matter what else, remember to enjoy the smoke.
