Am going to use cherry this year. Not sure what I have used in the past as I have both pecan and apple......... I think this is the 4th year to smoke a turkey and it always comes out great.......

Will be doing it again this year.......Only way to cook a turkey in my opinion. So what cook times do people get on the bird? I always end up cooking mine faster than I think it will always take :rolleyes:

Don't forget to brine it. The JD, Maple Syrup one is great and an all time favorite here I think. I know once I found it I never looked back.

Mine came outa little darker but sure tasted great! What happened to the wings? Look a lot darker than the rest of the bird.

Jeff, It is possible. I am doing the same thing and mine is 18.5 and well is almost done of course everything else is not going to be done for another hour:) I should have know better after my test run a few weeks ago but am just planning on pitching the Reynolds wrap tent in the kitchen and...

Well closest one to me is about a 4 day drive:) But yes the natural bird I purchased (18.5lb) from my local butcher said the same thing on the 6% water retention. I figure I am going to soak it in water and a few other things:) so it should be ok. I actually had the same bird last year and it...

I have only had the JD brine and it was not to sweet to me. I even added more JD and syrup than what the recipe called for. Over all a great taste! I also smoked my bird with an apple in the cavity.

I will be picking up my 20lb on Saturday as my local butcher is getting the first run of fresh birds then. Cooking in the WSM and doing the JD brine. I figure I will brine it for almost 48 hrs. I just did a 12lb over the weekend and had to let it sit an extra day as my schedule got messed up and...

My wife even said she tasted it also so not really sure. Another note I ended up brining the turkey for almost 48 hours as my smoke day changed so did not want it sitting in the fridge drying for 36 hours. I think when I do my 20lb on Thanksgiving I am going to brine it for 48 also. I also had...

OK fired up the WSM and used LarryRs brine recipe and also did the gravy. Turkey turned out great and everyone loved it. As for the gravy well I am not so hooked on it. I am not a wine fan and a little hint of it in the gravy turned me off. Not sure if it was that I did not cook it off enough or...

I have searched my local craigslist for the last 6 months and have found only one for sale for 200 plus. I will buy new for that price. Plus there is nothing like a new toy:)

Has anyone seen these in person? Looking at the pics it looks like the table is now black instead of gray? Anyone confirm this? Reason I ask is while shopping for some hop up parts for my WSM I noticed the local hardware store is blowing out last years model of Performer with gas assist for...

I have also used the Homer bucket with no ill effects. I did find a local guy selling food grade buckets on Craigslist also. This year though I found a food grade clear bucket actually made in the USA (imagine that) at my local Fred Meyer store for about 3 bucks.

Ok one more question for everyone. What kind of white wine to use? I have never even looked at wine as I am a beer snob not a wine person.

Thanks for the links. I already have the link to the turkey as I have brined mine for the last three years and this one sounds great. This is also the first year with my WSM so looking forward to doing this on Thanksgiving. I think I am going to do one next weekend just to make sure I get it...

Ok reading a few posts this keeps popping up. Well searched it out and could not find it. Does someone have it that they could post or get me a link? Not sure if it is sausage fingers or to many beers;)

Three racks on the WSM and burgers and sausage on the gas grill. Plenty of sides to go with. Great weekend for a family get together. Oh and yes plenty of beer!

Ok looking for a thermo and was wondering what is good? I have read about the Mavericks and was looking do I get the older one or the new one? Do I just get a quick read or ???? All I want it for is when I am cooking on the WSM and checking meat temps. I thought the Maverick might be better as...
