Put my turkey on the Egg at 4:30. Smoking it on 300 until about 1045-1115.

Putting two drunk chickens on for 2 hours right after that. All injected with Tonys

There is no reason to do a turkey at low temps.set it to 275-300 and it will be done in 5- 6 hours and be veey juicy.

There is no comnective tissue to break down like in a pork butt.

And poultry takes smoke flavor very easily. Doesnt take long at all to get good flavor.

The Egg is way out of my price range.

I am stuck with a dinky upright smoker.

While I would like a ceramic type smoker, but I really love the larger ones with side fuel boxes.

I will make my own when it comes time for that. Or at least design my own.

True.. it's recommended that the Turkey passes 140° no more than 4 hours after the cooking process begins.

I hear you on the price. It took me a month of going in the store and walking out until I finally broke down and bought it.

Well worth the investment

I have one of the old Brinkman charcoal smokers. I take my gas burner off of my fish cooker and lay it in the firebox, I use it to maintain the temp, I throw hickory chunks around it for smoke. Its a pretty good setup.

I know you can buy a heating element for the base that is a stand in for the fuel.

I think electric smoker may be a more viable and cost effective option.

Down the road, I hope the skills I already have will give me either some philanthropic uses on a larger setup, or even some commercial use. Nothing tastes better than smoked meat, IMO.

Oh yeah. I convinced my dad to get one of those to save on oil costs and clean up through the years.

It's good!

Mine went on the Weber at around 6:30. She's gliding along at 325. Should be done around noon.

Smoked turkey's blow fried ones out of the water. So damn juicy.
