Is it common...

    Turkey

    thanks for the help and replies. My wife is pretty adamant about just a rub and then me smoke it. Now I am curious, those of you who use hickory, do you use straight hickory all the way or do you toss in another wood towards the end to even the flavor?

    New smoker from Oklahoma city

    Shoot Doc, don't thank me, thank you! My time in the Corps showed me that Marines LOVE our Docs. I have mad respect for you guys. I don't know many people who would brave incoming just to grab a downed guy, pull him to cover and patch him up. Semper Fi to ya ;-)
