We think a well-smoked turkey is a delicacy! The Traegers and the Big Green Eggs on the market sure help to make smoking meat easy to get right. 


There are many recipes and how-to's out there. The best one we have found is right here from our favorite BBQ aficionado.....Malcom Reed at How to BBQ Right.


Malcom gives easy-to-follow tips for success. We've been following him as we refine our skills using our backyard smokers. It's great to have a source to rely on for great ideas. See what you think about how Malcom does it!
