    Skin on or off?

    Jeff Crank the heat up!! The skin will get nice and crispy. Turkeys and Chickens do not have a lot of fat to render. They are lean animals. So low and slow does nothing except take longer to cook. Put a hole chimmy of lit coals ontop of a hole lot of unlit coals that will fit the ring together...

    1: High and fast!!! I done both and the High and fast give you a great skin. Not rubbery like you would if you do Low and slow. Also turkey are lean there is no reason to do low and slow. There is no fat to render. Get the WSM hot. No water in pan. Wrape it in tin foil and let the juice fall on...

    Smoke Flavor From Coals Only?

    Hello Guys Just want to chime in here. Charcoal alone doesn't give me a smoke taste. Putting Three to 4 chuncks of wood in the WSM as the temps are coming up to the 200-225 range, waiting to see the smoke coming out, off the wood, though the vents then put the meat on. One thing I disagree with...

    Wintering over a WSM

    John All you have to do is turn the middle section around on the base and put the lid on it. This keeps the water out of it and you can still use the weber cover that isn't water proof on the WSM and still let it look good with out putting a garbage bag on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps...
