Seems like a father's day trend...

Johnex,
Welcome!  I'm going with Arnie's advice about doing a pork butt first instead of those beautiful pheasants.  The Bradley Smoker is a bit of a different smoker than some and had a bit of a learning curve.  Pork butt is very forgiving.

Have fun and update us on your project and show us pics.
