I've lived in Arizona since '66, been cooking on charcoal grills all my life and calling it barbecue.  Then I got the best fathers day present ever, a Brinkman vertical water smoker, or "ECB".  Since June I have smoked over 80 lbs of pork shoulder, 4 rack of pork ribs, several chickens, 1 sirloin tip roast, 1 beef brisket, the Thanksgiving Turkey, a ton of ABT's and a few stuffed mushrooms.  Been making my own sauces too, now I know what barbecue really is.  Plans are to build my own pit and permanently install it next to my charcoal grill island.  So far, the beef has been disappointing but the pork and fowl has all turned out fabulous!

Nice looking turkey. I love it smoked...unfortunately, the women in my family don't appreciate my smoked foods. They were here in the first experimental days, when I thought I needed to use an entire tree...I read somewhere the best advice one person got was "try to undersmoke your food"...
Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy our little club!

Welcome JIM, what wood/charcoal did you use on that great looking bird?

Just regular Kingford briquettes, and a about a cup of applewood chips.  Rubbed under the skin with an olive oil/shallots/portabello combination and lightly sprinkled my standard pork rub on the outside of the skin.  12 lb bird was done in about 4-1/2 hours, then I wrapped in foil and let it rest for about an hour.  I normally cook my turkey on a rotisserie over charcoal, but this was actually quicker and much better tasting.  Plus I didn't have to balance the dang thing!
