Smoked Turkey

I'm a Christmas Egg and smoked my 1st turkey Jan.1, 2012.  It was around 10-11lbs, my wife stuffed it with some chopped carrots and onion. I used some pecan wood with the charcoal, plate setter feet up, with the turkey on a V-roasting rack in a foil drip pan, placed it on the grilling rack and cooked it for 5-6 hrs at 250.  It turned out fine with good moisture and taste.  Breast temp was a little high at 170 degrees but things turned out ok for the maiden voyage.

Very good cook and sounds like it turned out fine.Please be careful on stuffing a bird and cooking. May I make a suggestion on your next turkey fix: cook turkey legs direct and high in dome. Cook at 375/400 and takes about 50 min's. The last 10 I like Bone Sucking Sauce.  Or wife likes without sauce. Found Butt Rubb is real good as well as Cluck & Squeal works fine. Just keep grilling and post pictures please.

About 45 minutes before I cook a turkey I put the breast on ice bags. This lowers the temp of the breast so they will cook a little slower than the dark meat. Works like a charm every time.
