Poultry Smokers,
I have a 13 gallon horizontal tube style smoker with a charcoal box attached to the side, I also have, and honestly prefer the 55 gallon horizontal drum I turned into a bbq that I want smoke things in from now on (I have yet to use it as a smoker but the potential is HUGE) because it is bigger and the smaller one won't fit a turkey in it, but the big one has no attached side box. I want to smoke a turkey this year but have ABSOLUTELY no idea wth I am doing as far as birds go. I have done hams for Christmas the past few years and it always turns out great, so I got the gist. Got this awesome drum to play with and the wife want's a smoked bird now, what would you guys suggest I can do with it? Should I take the small box off the smaller smoker and attach it to the bigger one, or do you think I have enough room in the drum for this (turkey on one side and coal on the other)? Also those of you that have done turkey's before, what kinds of recipes have you used to turn out a good, juicy bird? I am looking at a 16-18 lb bird. PLEASE HELP!! lol
