First turkey

Beavercreek_Smoker

Ok, I'm gonna try my first turkey on a sitin turkey holder. I have a couple questions, the bird is a small 11.5 lb. reading some older posts it looks like around 2.5 hours at 300 degrees? Does that sound right? Also, do I put legs up or down on the plate setter? Drip pan directly on the plate setter and sitin turkey directly in the drip pan? Thanks for any suggestions.

I to am doing a 14 1/2 lb bird today. Doing mine plate setter legs up drip pan on spacers (3 sets of washers) . Stainless rack above. Going to put 1/2 can of chicken broth in drip pan to start drippings. My turkey is injected with Dr BBQ sauce.

Nice looking bird Jack. Mine is a lot smaller, not so plump but I hope it turns out well.
