There is a recipe that I've used multiple times a year, won contests with the end result that came from the CIA Cookbook for smoked turkey. You marinate the turkey in a brine of water/salt/brown sugar, some spices/herbs for 48 hours, then smoke it for 6-8 hours. I looked on line, I can't find the exact CIA cookbook this came out of.

umm my first attempt was with pork chops!
oh they turned out great!
in the pan use apple juice for instead of water!
it will give it a fruity smoky taste and it's great with pork chops!
