I had never smoked a turkey before but my wife asked me to give it a go for Thanksgiving this year to free up oven space. We did a test run in October and invited friends who also had new things that they wanted to try out for Thanksgiving. The bird was delicious and I now know why it has received such a favorable rating. Leftovers lasted for four days and I had a smoked turkey sandwich on each of those days...thought I died and went to heaven. And, as an extra blessing, I realized that although our little electric smoker did a good job in October, it was going at full power and could not get over 230 degrees. Since I was concerned about colder weather in November...and because the wife wanted the free oven space...bingo! A new propane smoker for Thanksgiving! Heh. Thanks for the recipe!!!!!
