which shows a big smoker full of holiday turkeys, I wonder. What happens
to
all the grease? Each one of those birds must emit at least 2-3 cups of
pure fat.

Welcome!

Hey from Whidbey Island

As to 'where does the grease go'--I've never had anything close to 2 cups
of fat render
out of a turkey, whether I was smoking it or oven-roasting. Even a
Butterball.
(kinda pissed me off, too, cos I was making gravy)
In my bullet, the fat from whatever (usually ribs or butt) goes into the
foil I have
covering the sand in my 'water pan'.
