I'm getting really quite good at using my Brinkmann smoker, and apparently am sticking at it instead of using it once then leaving it to rot.
To the point that 'must have outbuilding space for permanent smoker, freezer, brining fridge and work surface' was a legitimate checkpoint on our house-picking list.
I did a turkey at Christmas. It was lush. I used hipster charcoal from The Oxford Charcoal Company, which is now a thing I can justify.
I did a trial-run turkey before Christmas. It was even better, as usually happens.
I made smoked turkey chilli from the leftovers. It is also lush.
Pictures of the thanksgiving trial run are 1..8 here:
