Bradley original + Auber PID + the rolling cart from Sam's recommended by a few folks on this forum; all sitting in the living room with a sacrificial 15lb turkey in the fridge.

Now I'm watching the clock and waiting on Fedex to drop off some bisquettes so I can start the magic.

The wait is killing me.

Thank you for the warm reception.

@ aeroforce100 - Ok, profile updated with city/state info.

@ SmokinHusker - My wife insisted that I roll the smoker out onto the back porch. Must be a woman thing

@ JckDanls 07 - This particular turkey was 'enhanced' at the processing plant. After some heavy consideration I've deceived not to brine it. I plan to spend more time sourcing the next turkey and next time will give the bird a brine bath. Lots of things to still consider and play with... Which brine, what smoke profile, Bag and Hang? Vertical turkey roaster? disposable aluminum pan? So very many options...
