My absolute favorite thing to smoke is wild turkey breasts. A whole deer ham is also great. This along with all the standbys, of course. Pork butt, etc.
I cheat and use a pellet grill.

My condolences. I thought wearing a vest every day in the Virginia heat was bad, but here you are doing it in Texas. I won't complain for a whole day in your honor.
