During the time we lived in Arkansas my mom started a tradition of smoking turkeys for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. The smoker she used (and I believe is still in her garage) is similar to the one to the left, complete with a dome lid. She would put a bag of charcoal in the bottom, a pan of water (and maybe some apple juice) above that, followed by two turkey stacked above one another. They always came out delicious, and, because she often smoked two birds, there was always plenty to freeze and eat another time.
I didn't take up the art of turkey smoking; when we moved here one of the guys at church loved to smoke turkeys around Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we bought birds, and he smoked them for us.
However, Jeremy did continue the tradition. And he smokes not only turkeys, but all sorts of other meats as well. He started small, but now has the cool smoker to the right, which he uses to smoke meat for family, friends and church whenever he gets the chance.
Speaking of "tasty birds," someone sent me this clip a couple of years back, and it seems to be making the rounds again this year. Give it a listen... funny stuff.
