Took my first crack at smoking a turkey breast yesterday evening after work. 
250°(ish) for 3 1/2 hours. 
I used a bourbon-honey glaze that was richly applied three separate times toward the end, and OMG!!!!!

    The glaze was kinda thrown together, but it was soooo good! 

    About 1/2 stick of butter
    Probably 3 Tbsp of REAL maple syrup 
    Somewhere between 2-3 Tbsp of honey
    3 Tbsp of Woodford Reserve bourbon. I used Woodford because I was out of Blanton's. Woodford is a cheaper bourbon, but is still of decent quality. 

    I just heated everything in a sauce pan until it was combined and almost boiling. I glazed LIBERALLY at the following temps:
    150, 160, 167

    I think you are my new hero.   My husband thought I was nuts a few years ago when I bought like 8 turkey breasts and put them in our deep freeze, because they were going for $.99 lb.  But he was right, I am nuts.  The glaze looks amazing :)
