First Thanksgiving with a BGE

HI All,

I've been lurking on this forum for the last several months and have finally decided to join the conversation. For the last 20 years I've been grilling on a Weber Genesis. Last year we renovated our backyard and installed an island with a Delta Heat natural gas grill. At the time we were thinking about putting in a stainless sink but what I really wanted was a smoker that I could integrate into the island, so I got my first BGE. Needless to say, the Delta Heat has been primarily used for searing and smaller meals where I don't have time to fire up the egg.

Here are a few pictures of my setup, and the 19 pound turkey that I smoked for Thanksgiving.

The turkey was great, moist with just the right amount of smoke. My wife is making soup with the carcass and the smoke gives it a nice umami taste.
