Hey all,
I've been considering the purchase of a smoker for some time, and like many I'm now down to either a WSM or a PBC. But that is not my question. Either way I decide, how do you coordinate meals with a smoker? Seems to me a brisket can be smoked and completed and sit in a cooler until meal time...there's flexibility there. But how do you do other pieces of meat. Chicken or Turkey. Let's say I'm smoking a turkey and my wife is preparing the sides, and we have guests coming at a certain time...how do you plan it all when you don't always know how long a piece of meat will take to finish? How does my wife know when to start cooking sides so that nothing is sitting and waiting and drying out?
Can any of you walk me through how you make this work?
