A turkey smoker produces an unmatched flavor

A turkey smoker is a dream for anyone who loves barbequed turkey. The smoker monitors and regulates the temperature of the flame, an adjustment that is essential because the cooking process takes a long time and the turkey occupies a large area of space. If the temperature is not properly monitored, the turkey can end up getting overcooked or undercooked.

Those who use turkey smokers get so accustomed to the flavor that they avoid baking, roasting, deep-frying or braising turkeys. To them, a smoked turkey has a richness, flavor and taste that is unmatched by all other methods.

Some of the advantages of smoked turkey according to the connoisseurs of this style of cooking are:

– The smoke imparts a succulent flavor to the meat along with lending it a mouth-watering aroma.

– Smoking combined with brining gives you a taste that cannot go wrong, because the brine brings out the essence of the flavor of the meat.

– Smoking is also a very simple procedure that doesn't take too much out of you; all it requires is for you to place the turkey on the smoker and leave it there till it cooks. The temperature is automatically regulated and you don't have anything to worry about.

- Finally, you can cook smoked turkey both indoors and outdoors; each way has its own advantages and the end result is always a delicious turkey treat.

Turkeys are best smoked using a charcoal grill smoker because all it involves is raking up the lighted coals into two heaps at opposite sides of the grill, and placing an aluminum foil drip pan in the middle. The turkey is then placed on the grate over the drip pan and a handful of soaked hardwood chips are tossed on each coal heap to produce a copious stream of hot smoke.

The rest as they say is … yumm!
