Brine the turkey, don't go over 14# IMO. 12 pounders are ideal, if you need meat then smoke two 10 # turkeys, etc. Mild fruit wood, cherry, pecan, apple, etc. I smoke mine about 275 degrees grate temp. My dome temp is usually off by 10-20 degrees from my grate level. Also we spatchcock our turkeys and chickens, this takes an hour plus off of the cook. Once you and the family smoke a turkey, you will dread eating oven baked turkey. Lots of good info from smokers with years of experience in this thread... http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1187812/smoked-turkey-good-or-bad/p1
