    For some reason that looked like a snapping turtle wearing a chicken for a hat.
    I’m sure it was delicious.

  2. For anyone interested:

    I’m not using an electric smoker. I’ve been maintaining a temperature of about 260°F via the fiddling method.

    I chose 260° as a happy medium between maximum smoke penetration and time (225 or 300).

    My fuel has been approximately 60% charcoal/40% apple wood, including the soaked twigs. Again, a happy medium between flavor and longer-burning fuel source.

    My other fuel was included in the picture. Sadly, I do not have an auxiliary tank.

    I’m strongly considering an apricot glaze towards the end, but I think it would clash with roasted sweet potatoes and fennel. I’m open to opinions.

  3. I smoked duck for the first time for Christmas. It turned out amazing. Rich meat goes really well with apple wood.
