First time smoking a turkey on a new smoker.. Vertical smoker, master forge charcoal smoker...put on turkey at for this morning but for the life of me I cannot get the temp above 200 and that is the high...I'm averaging about 170 and am worried about bacteria...any ideas to help me out on getting the temp up...i keep adding coals but they dont seen to help and I don't want to choke the fire...
