OK..smoking my first turkey today..
I'll keep you all updates today with picks..
Put bird in the smoker at 6:40 AM.. Coals were hot and water was hot.There are also 5 chicken quarters.
the wood is wine sap apple wood from my dad's trees in Maryland. The Kitty Cafe is a shelter I built fo rmy wife. She feeds the stray cats .We also trap them and get them shots and fixed..The cafe is stuffed with straw to keep them warm.

RE: OK..smoking my first turkey today..
Well..[&o]the coals were 90 per cent burned out..Temp dropped to about 190..
I removed the coal pan..refilled and lit them outside of the cooker..After the fluid burned off and the coals started burning I stuck the coal pan back in..[:-]The turkey has a nice color..Apple wood is considered a mild smoke..
