You'll need a good supply of rolling papers.

Ok, TxTravelPro, I'll tell you the story behind 8JT8TER. Years ago I used to hustle pool, I played this one Georgia redneck a lot, took his money a lot, talked trash. He always said I was nuthin but a agitator. The way he pronounced his a's and the fact I played, thus 8JT8TER. I'll never forget that guy, I was probably taking money intended for his wife & kids. People today say I still 8JT8T.

Laugh if you want but I actually have somked turkey in parts. It takes all day but turns out great. I know a guy that does this in a small smokehouse for several dozen people in a small town. They swear by it.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, I'm more of a traditional guy. I make mine on the grill.

I always wondered about that one. I had a tag I thought was simple but people would ask. 14GOLF

Years ago I had a old MITSUBISHI pickup. On the tailgate the MITSUBISHI was on with black plastic tape. I took the tape off TS and IS. Had a lot of people ask me about that one. Cops too.

Years ago I remember my grandfather and a neighbor? had a smokehouse. Looked like a outhouse doublewide, all black and sooty, smelled kinda appealing, used a lot of wood (hickory?), and took a couple of days. I heard it was good, but for some reason I couldn't eat it.

I normally use hickory and mesquite. Will sassafrass make my turkey taste like root beer?
