SWMBO and I usually smoke a smallish (11-13 pounds) turkey on Thanksgiving. We have a meal or two and save some breast meat for some sandwiches for the next week. On the Monday after Thanksgiving, SWMBO takes all the dark meat off the carcass, slices it up, and takes sandwich fixin’s to treat her co-workers. Last year, we were in Arkansas for Thanksgiving. Her co-workers were really bummed about not having their Monday Morning Turkey, so we promised to do one for New Year’s.
It’s smoking up a storm right now, and best part of all is there are no firefighters in sight.

Man, that sounds so good. I bought a smoked turkey from a chain this year for Christmas this year, and it was a revelation. Post the turkey smoking tips for us newbies, because I plan to learn this year.
