I have a Brinkmann electric smoker. I usually cook turkey's in it. Salt & Pepper, EVOO, and rosemary on the turkey. It has a water bin which I put water, apple juice, & rosemary in. Jack Daniels wood chips on the bottom. Let it warm up to where it's steaming and smoking and put the turkey on till the thingy pops up

I also make BBQ beans with it in a cast iron pot. Campbell's pork and beans, your favorite BBQ sauce, some brown sugar, chopped onions, and bacon bits. Smoke it for like 3-5 hours

www.eggheadforum.com is a great resource for kamado style cooking. Not sure what type of smoker you have, but I've found it very useful.

Bobby Flay has a couple good cook books for grilling. The one I have is called "Grill It". As far as smoking different meats it's all about your preference in rubs and sauce. Sweet, spicey, vinegar based....

Just a suggestion, but you might wanna get a meat thermometer. Those things that pop up are not accurate a lot of the time. Meat thermometers are cheap and you can measure the temp in the leg, where they say you should.

I second this. I think turkey is supposed to cook to 170. If I remember right those plastic things are calibrated to pop at a much higher temperature to make sure the turkey is completely cooked through. It may be overcooking your bird by 5-10 degrees. A meat thermometer will help you nail the right temp every time.

I believe you are right, except for the temp. Cook turkey up til it gets 165 degrees and the bird will continue cooking to 180. Some prefer to take it out as early as 150, according to Epicurious, but that's a bit more of a risk. Somewhere in-between should be fine, but I would never trust a pop out thermometer - mainly because you run the risk of serving overcooked turkey, as jjay said

The Thermoworks Thermopop is $30 and gives an accurate read in 6 seconds or less (although in my experience it is usually closer to 3). I was ready to pop on a Thermapen but I'm glad I saved the $70

On a diet, and have been hooked on grilling relatively-low calorie, high protein turkey burgers with Sriracha and pepperjack. So good.

Could you not diet on the 96% lean ground beef/chuck?

Yeah, and I do 93%. The turkey burger is new to me, and it's higher protein:calorie ratio so it's got that going for it.

I pretty much eat a double hamburger on lifting days and a single turkey burger (bigger patty) on rest/cardio days.
