Wayne,
No, 165* . What do you suggest?
Ross -
I was thinking that at 180° that breast would be way overdone.....whole birds are always a tough battle for me, you won't have any problem with the breast, but I would probe that thigh joint and once the juice is clear, I'd call it ready.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery

Nice find on that recipe, Ross. Looks good already, and if you have the time afterwards we'd love to see how it turned out.
I know Celtic Wolf likes to say, "If you're lookin' you ain't cookin', but with an ETA of 10 hours on this bird, do you plan on opening the lid up every so often to baste? If so, how often and what type of baste? -
Thanks for the laugh Beli.
Remember we must laugh at ourselves every now and then, belive me, you're not the only one to have missed something in a post. Don't ask me how I know.
Cheers,
Bordello -
Wayne,

Vincent,

Ross -

Ross,
When you update, which I hope you do, let us know pit and bird temp.
I am very interested in this cook.

Kent,
I Basted again pit temp. 220* Turkey Breast 137*
Ross -
I wonder about the length of time. Are you going to pull at 165° meat?
Also, are you gong to add more smoking wood or you still getting some of the original wood.
Depending on your thoughts of the results, I am going to try with Jack Daniels No.7 chips or grape chips.
Anyway, the bird is sure looking nice in this picture.
Kent -
I do not think this well go for 10-hrs. I still see smoke but plan on adding.
Ross -
