My folks were out this weekend for one of their yearly visits. Since it's around Thanksgiving time, I decided to test out my little MES electric smoker on a 14# turkey.
I chopped out the backbone to use for making stock, and injected the turkey with some seasoned butter.
Put it in the smoker. The temp was around 300, or at least that's what it registered. I used a little mix of maple and cherry pellets for the smoke, but only enough to provide smoke for about an hour.
Honestly, I think my smoker is so well 'seasoned' at this point, anything I put in it would come out smoked even if I didn't use pellets at all!
Turned out great! Just like having a second, albeit smokey, oven.
