I know asking this type of question is like asking who your favorite team is but here goes:
I am doing a turkey tomorrow. I have:
Plenty of apple, pecan, hickory, mesquite, Jim Beam pucks
about 2 hours of maple pucks
It is a 12 lb turkey - what wood and for how long - Recommendations?
id do maple and apple
I've done four hours of Hickory, Cherry and Maple are good too.
Four hours is a pretty smoky bird.
I mix Apple and Pecan.
I am smoking a couple of Boneless Turkey Breasts as we speak. I am using Maple.
STC would also tell you to use a more mild smoke. No Mesquite and no Hickory. I believe that STC likes Pecan for Turkey.
