Brined the turkey and smoked with apple/maple for 8hs in all, ham took about 6hrs.

When's dinner? What can I bring? :P How about a report on the finished product? food looks delicious!
It was the best turkey I have ever had in all my 50yrs. Moist/sweet smokey flavor.....boiling the carcass right now for soup.
Ham was also out of this world. I really have a hard time putting it into words. The whole process of brining, cooking smoking, is really a blast.
The food has been indescribable! :D
It really is fun to try and do new things :) Thanks for the pictures!
Like I have said before, I lurked here for a long time. I was so impressed with what has been posted here, I had to get a Bradley. I got it in around August, and have used it at least 30 times.
I couldn't be happier ;)
You are off to a great start. Keep the smoke going and keep us posted. ;)
That required activation of my auto drool control. Congrats on a great looking smoke. Glad it all came together for you.
Nice work! ;D

Man o man that is one pretty piture of a perfect smoke. Geez I'm gonna ruin another keyboard mybad. Ya done good!!! ;)
Did you throw the turkey in the oven to crisp up, or is that how that bird came out of the smoker?
I have been frying turkeys for the last 12 years or so. After the first one we have not had one in the oven since. This Thanksgiving, I cured and then cold smoked in the bradley first, then did the usual Creole Butter injection and let marinate over night. Fried that puppy up and if it wasn't the best fried turkey I have had. :P
Right out of the smoker.... ;)
