In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Of course, if you have plenty of time on your hands and don't need to speed up the process, you won't need to pre-cook your bird. But if you happen to be in a hurry and want to expedite the cooking process, consider pre-cooking the turkey and blasting it with smoke afterwards. To pre-cook your bird, place it in an oven-safe pan and cover it with foil or a lid. Bake the turkey for 30 minutes at 350F (177C). Oil the rungs of the rack or line it with foil to keep the bird from sticking. Your optimum temperature for smoking a turkey is around 230F (110C), but anywhere between 220 and 240F (104 and 116C) is acceptable. It will take your smoker about 45 minutes to reach this temperature. Once the smoker is lit and pre-heated to be ready for cooking, add your pre-soaked wood chips to the smoker. If you want, you can get fancy with your soaking liquids. Say, for example, you're using hickory chips to smoke the turkey. Why not reach for bourbon as your soaking liquid? Or say you're smoking with applewood chips. Why not use apple cider? Complement the flavor of the chips with a tasty soaking liquid. Experiment with different wood chips to alter the flavor of the meat. Milder flavors of wood chips include alder, apple, cherry, grape, maple, mulberry, orange, and peach; stronger flavors include hickory, mesquite, oak, pecan, walnut, and whiskey barrel. Some people prefer not soaking their wood chipsor wood chunksat all. They argue that wood needs to dry out before it produces smoke, prolonging the process. Experiment for yourself whether smoking with soaked or dry wood chips produces better flavor. Place the turkey on the cooking rack of the smoker with the breast up. The best part of the rack to place the turkey will depend on where the most direct heat is. You'll want to place the turkey on the side of the rack away from direct heat. Put the lid back on the smoker. Consider placing a drip pan underneath the turkey. If you want to save fluids and fat for some smoky gravy, place a drip pan underneath your rack to catch any fluids leaving your turkey. Check the smoker every hour or so to maintain the heat and smoke. Add more charcoal, wood chips, or water as needed. If your smoker doesn't have a thermometer attached to it, consider placing a metal thermometer inside the cooking rack to gauge the temp when you open it. Your turkey will need 30 to 40 minutes per 1 pound (0.45kg) to smoke. The time difference is determined by your smoker and the temperature outside. For example, at 220F (104C), a 15lb (6.8kg) turkey will take between 8 and 9 hours to smoke. If you decide to cook the turkey at a higher temperature, the cooking time will diminish significantly, but the turkey won't retain as much smoky flavor. At 325F (163C), a 15lb (6.8kg) turkey will take between 3 and 3.5 hours to smoke. Calculate the minimum time suggested that the turkey might take to smoke completely. When that amount of time has passed, open the lid and quickly get a reading with your meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh area of the bird. The turkey is done when the temperature is at 165F (74C). If the turkey is not done yet, put the lid back on the smoker and let the bird cook another 30-45 minutes. Then, check for the desired temperature again. After removing the bird from the smoker, let it rest for around 30 minutes before carving it. This will help the juices settle in the bird, making for a moister treat when you finally do cut into it. Enjoy your smoked turkey on its own, or with a magnificent Thanksgiving fare that includes candied yams, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
Summary: Pre-cook your turkey (optional). Prepare the grill rack of the smoker. Light your smoker. Add your wood. Place the turkey on the smoker. Maintain the heat of the smoker at around 230F (110C). Time the cooking of your turkey by the weight of the bird. Wait for the internal temperature of the turkey to reach 165F (74C) for doneness. Let it rest.

Problem: Article: It might not seem like a big deal to you when she compliments your new sneakers, but her noticing changes in your outfit or appearance and complimenting you could be her way of showing you she's interested enough in you to pay attention. Many shy people are worried about saying the wrong thing, which sometimes leads to quietness around a crush. Oppositely, nervousness at being close to a crush might cause a shy girl to be a little more chatty. In either case, research has shown that if she responds to you smoothly and quickly, she likely is interested in some kind of relationship with you. Small praise has a profound effect on people, but this effect is more pronounced with potential romantic partners. Does your girl light up when you pay her simple praise? She may be crushing on you. When she peppers your conversation with pleasant laughter at your wit and charm, it could mean she wants you to like her. Listen for frequency. Laughing more with you than others could be a love letter from her subconscious. Notes in lower registers are subconscious attempts at showing off, which makes a dreamy or husky quality in her voice a good sign for you! She may be loud around others, but quiet around you. These are often hints she is interested. Shy people frequently fear direct confrontation, so asking her if she has feelings for you through a note passed on through a friend or in a message that friend relates to her could save you from unnecessary detective work. Remember, she will find out that you asked, and sometimes people use this information to pick on other. There is nothing wrong with asking someone if they like you. Remember that some shy girls are very reserved and may keep their crush a secret, even from their best friends. It's important that you take time to read your situation to see if this kind of inquiry is a good decision.

Observe small compliments. Pay attention to how she talks. Give the girl you like compliments. Listen for laughter. Take note of volume and pitch. Ask through a mutual friend.
