Turkey breast time and temp

How long should I smoke a 10 pound bone in breast for? What temp? I've read 1 hour per pound at 250 but have already been advised to cook at 325, 40 minutes per pound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I  don't think it will take that long.  I don't know the hour per lb off hand but I think at 325-350 it is in the 2.5 -3.5 range for a bird that size.   Use a thermometer and cook it until it is 160 deg F.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Indirect at around 350*F on the dome and I see around 12 mins/lb-close enough for me.  And as above-always go with the finish temp and toss the popup gizmo if yours has one.
    BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

    i did a whole 10lb turkey raised direct, spatchcocked and it took 90 min, I'm guessing just a breast would be similar. Either way it will be much quicker than 40 min/lb at 400. I would advise not to cook at 250.

    I'd cook indirect at 350-400.  Probably looking at an hour and a half, give or take.  Pull when coolest part of the breast is 150F.  You can thank me later.

    3.8 minutes later and it's just as safe as 165+ turkey!  Really it would be impossible to have it fall faster than that. I imagine in 3.8 minutes it's still rising from residual heat.
