Its hard to beat them Brinkman Smokers for slow cooking. I soak my apple chunks in water for an hour before using. And then a couple hours in you get a dense apple smoke. And you're right about that water pan... don't let it go dry. When I make one and have the family over, that bird sure disappears fast.

We can not use a rifle to hunt them so I use a Knight TK 2000 shotgun. Although before the Knight I used to use a very old 12 gauge double barrel shotgun and shoot #4 magnums out of it. Sitting on my little stool one morning a nice tom came in and I accidentally touched both triggers.. WOW!! Actually the recoil sent the gun onto my back up finger. What a wake up call that was. To this day I have never double finger triggered that shotgun.
