Had great response to the turkey.  Had a couple family members mention it was the best turkey they'd ever had.  ;D  My brothers have been considering getting a smoker and this may have tipped them over the edge. As one said, "It's no longer a want, it's a need." My first turkey I used peach, this one was all hickory, 2 1/2 oz each time.  We seem to like the hickory a little better as it just smelled and tasted a little more "smokey."  I guess it's all a matter of taste.  Thanks again Tony for your help in making this smoke a win!

Great news, Dean!  I was hoping the taste was as good as it sounded!  Nothing will win over the friends & family like a good ol' hickory-smoked bird!  Nice job - glad to play a small part in helping.  It was all you!  Next time, a little smaller bird and you won't need the extra oven step!

Thanks for all the support. Learned a lot this smoke.  I confess my decision to buy a Smokin-It smoker was based partly on the great reviews you all offered on the units themselves but was also influenced in no small way by the helpful feedback I saw others offering to new people like me on how to become competent in a relatively short period of time.  Thanks Tony to you and the others for being willing to share so freely of your experiences.  Nice to be part of such a great community. :)

So glad to have you with us, Dean!  We all learn something with every smoke, and sharing is the fun part (besides eating great Q)! ;D
