you guys ever smoke a turkey? (to keep in with the forum, while sharpening all of your chains, and your neighbors, and their friends etc. etc., yeah it takes that long)
Easier than that to keep it in line with the forum. Most of the wood I have cut (hickory, pecan, and oak) I use for smoking.
Last Thanksgiving I did 2 Boston butts on a rack above the turkey to "cross-baste".
