My bet is the temp got too low and he tossed some more wood in the smoker and doused it with lighter fluid. Problem was he didn’t vent the smoker and the blowback set something on fire.

Been there, done that. Valuable lesson learned.

Was he smoking a regular turkey or menthol?

Smoking a Turkey? Drugs are BAD!

You got to roll those things very carefully.

Many doctors agree with you- Camel’s are good for your “T - Zone”.

Because the turkey was ruined, chicken was plan B.

Is there a recipe? Must be pretty tasty...

Vaping Turkey.

Spatchcock that bird. Cooks faster, all meat is done evenly. No dry breast meat and underdone dark meat. I’ll never cook turkey any other way.

They must have had a redneck abandoned car conversion smoker.

Smoked turkey is delicious, though we are having a killer ham today.

[Veto!]

My thoughts exactly...what was he smoking?

However, this is truly sad. Poor guy.

That’s awfully big to get into your mouth and which side do you light up?

If you hadn't posted that I would have. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nothing tastier than nitrocellulose-flavored turkey. Better than any other rub.

Oh hey man, I never smoked a turkey but I'll try anything.
