    All I got for a snack before I go to bed is a bag of sunflower seeds. Not much of a snack, but it does the trick. Taking a handful at a time, cracking the shells open on one side of my mouth and eating them on the other side. Nice lil snack.

    I'll be smoking a turkey again this year...

    They had the legs at the fair last week, but I opted for the sausage.

    LOCO I would choose the sausage as well. NOT a big Turkey leg fan and smoking a whole turkey sounds like a "big" undertaking... do you do it or have it done??

    Do it myself of course. It's not hard, just takes all day.

    I have this smoker...

    It takes about 6-8 hours to smoke a medium sized bird.

    I've never been a big turkey fan myself.

    However, the last couple of years i've deep fried the bird and been thrilled with how it's come out.

    A ranch flavor injection, and typically less than two hours total cook time. It comes out great.

    Friend of mine does that (fries a 12 lb bird) once a year, but the novelty has worn off. Sadly, I must admit, is that a very juicy and consistant bird comes from the $50 turkey dinner I buy at the local chain supermarket, with all the fixins.

    Where does the satisfaction of accomplishment come from?

    @Loco fair looks nice, did you get any candy floss at it? :)

    @Jo - cooking turkey is easy, just buy one of those magic turkey bags and follow the instructions on the back, get a lovely juicy bird with no need to baste it or keep checking up on it! ;)

    Eva brings up a good point and lots of TURKEY will be served this year that way... but again the satisfaction of cooking it yourself the easy way is missing. lol. I like to fry my Thanksgiving Turkey if the possibility arises. Sometimes the step-mom buys a smoked turkey and some spiral cut ham. Yummy either way. :D

    For Thanksgiving and Christmas we get a choice of either a turkey or a ham (smoked 12-15 lb) for us to enjoy. All we have to do is defrost it and put it in the oven for a couple hours. we have over 2000 turkeys and hams to pass out.
