Does anyone have any tips on smoking a turkey and how long it takes??

Hi.  You can probably find all kinds of helpful info over in the Poultry section of the forum.

Toad, I did a couple of 8 pound turkey breasts yesterday.  Took a little over 5 hours at 250F.  I expect a whole bird would take a little longer.

What I often do is smoke the turkey for three hours or so.  Then I'll move the turkey to the oven to finish cooking at 325F.  This will shave about half an hour off the time and will crisp up the skin.  If you cook completely in the smoker, the skin will be kind of rubbery.

Looking to do this today.  Sure glad other folks have pioneered the way!
