Heat is a relative thing. I used to work with a woman who hated ketchup because, she said, “it’s too hot”.
Funny you should mention this. I’m getting ready to defrost a turkey and two pork butts to smoke in my electric smoker. There’s just something about smoked turkey. I go light on the smoke to give it a nice subtle hint of smoke without being overpowering. Some folks don’t even notice but the slow cooking of the smoker makes them come out perfect every time.
Had my first ever smoked turkey leg when I visited Texas a couple of years ago. It was delicious. If it had some spice/heat it would have been epic.

How do you get them to stay lit? Is this preferable to vaping?
(sorry)
Had lunch at McGuires in Pensacola, FL recently. They had Buffalo chicken thighs. Pretty good.
You’re not really smoking that turkey. At least, not what I consider smoking. Your putting the wood right in the water and it’s not smoking. Your smoke wood should be soaked or damp so it doesn’t burn up but I’ve never seen anyone put it in the water. The water is good, yes, smokers always use it so you don’t dry out your meat but the chips should be damp but closer to the eat so not only should your meat be getting swamped in smoke but you temperatures should be down in the low 200s for slow smoking and it should take many hours.
Don’t get me wrong, that sounds like it’s probably really good, but it’s more of a roasting with rub.
Myu doc advised me anything that flies or swims is good for you, as long as it’s not fried.When we lived in NY, every Thanksgiving the local hospital’s burn units has ALL HANDS ON DECK, because, sure enough someone would get careless with a turkey fryer.
I read that quickly the first time and concluded that you were waiting for a new wife. ;)
Brining the bird before the smoke makes it even better!!!
Little humor there. Turkey is good stuff. Smoked turkey is super good stuff!
I tried smoking turkey wings once, but it was too hard to keep them lit...
Bump for later
