    Smoking The Bird

    Smoking a turkey next week for the first time. Test turkey for Thanksgiving. Should I put it in a roasting pan or right on the rack? Should I bother with the water bowl or just baste? I am using the directions I found in the left margin. Any tips or secrets anyone would like to share? Thanks.

    Smoking a meatloaf for the first time. Should I put it directly on one of the racks or in a pan? Thinking about wrapping the whole thing in bacon. Has anyone tried this?
