Turkey time per pound

UPCamper

I've done probably 3-4 turkeys in my egg over the last two years. All but one have turned out great. I can't seem to nail the estimated time down.  Everyone I have done seems to take about 10-12 min per pound.  Many of the threads suggest 15+ min per pound.  That's where my bad turkey came in.  I tried it Mad Max last fall and started it at the "appropriate" time. His was 20lb and he suggested 7 hrs at 325. Anyways, it was done about 4 hours.  18 lb bird!  So it sat around for 2 hours prior to eating. I don't remember the exact times and weights but every time I've cooked one its done much quicker than expected.  

What have you all found works for est time and what temp are you using? 325? 375?

Edit...Regular bird, not spatchcocked.  Also, unstuffed.

If not spatchcocked I run around 350-375*F indirect and see about 12 mins/lb.  Close enough for me to plan around.  (Not stuffed).

I cooked a 12.5 turkey a couple weeks ago at 350 and it took 3 hours so over 12 minutes a pound.

I did an unstuffed 12 lb today and it took 4.5hours at 325 to get to 165 degrees.  Used a Flame Boss for temp control.  I'll be at 350 plus next time.
