    what was your first car to drive

    First one I drove was Dad's '72 F250 Camper Special, 360 with an oil bath air cleaner + 4 on the floor. My first car was a 1970 Ford Torino GT, 351 Cleveland. That 'ol Mule held it's own against my buddy's '73 Nova w/ a 4 barrel & headers. ~R

    First Smoked Turkey + Qview

    The bacon was only for moister, it didn't add flavor to the bird... For those that prefer to brine... I guess you won't have any bacon with your turkey! ~R PS.  Another idea is to save the drippings (mine contain smoked bacon fat) & add them to the turkey soup that you make the next day!

    First Smoked Turkey + Qview

    First smoked bird.  I followed some of the recipe ideas from the fine folks at Smoking Meat Forums, thanks!  I used my 18 inch WSM, regular Kingsford, a gallon of water in the bowl & small amount of hickory, did not brine.  Weather was 39F & breezy at the start, dropped into the 20s F + 20mph...
