bullfrog,
I don't mean to dominate the board this morning but it's Columbus Day and I'm off...
anyway a turkey breast isn't a low and slo type of meat (at least in my mind for safety reasons). I always cook my indiect using a pan at 325° and count on about 15 to 20 minutes per pound. It's the same amount of time whether one or two breasts. You'll be done at 160° internal. For an added taste throw a peeled onion onto your coals. As for amount of charcoal I always keep mine fairly full - why? You aren't going to use more, you just snuff the fire when you're done anyway.

Haven't done any poultry low and slow so someone else will have to comment on that. I did brine a 6 lb. turkey breast this past week. Cooked 350° indirect with a chunk of cherry wood. Took about 2 hours for the internal temp to reach 165°. It was outstanding![p]Jim

bullfrog,
if you truly want to cook low and slow then brinning is called for and I would add some Tender Quick to the brine.
Low and slow on poultry is a good way to end up with dry end product, white meat is too lean for long cooks, brining is your best shoot. I also would recommend as the others have said cooking at 325 to 350º is the best method to cook poultry.

bullfrog,[p]I did a turkey brest this weekend (6.54 lb.) for a friend. I cooked it indirect at anout 350-375 for 3.5 hours. Finished at 450 or higher to crisp up the skin (last 20 minutes). Results were great!
