: Smoked Turkeys

This year I decided to smoke the turkeys for Thanksgiving.  Wasn't sure how well they would turn out since I've only smoked Meat and fish in this particular smoker.

I brined the turkeys for 24 hours.  Pulled and prepped them at 6am.

Thermometers in place and a dose of heavy applewood.

Took 7-8 hours before it was done.

I pulled it the moment it hit 165 degrees.  Perfect.

Well, almost all of it was eaten.  It came out really good but was a pain to tend to the fire box.  My old pit is not a turn it on and forget it type of smoker.

Anyone do any cooking?
