Cherry goes well with turkey. Should be plenty of posts around here for time and temps, just do a search. People seem to like the Mad Max method, but I've never tried it.

+1 on cherry, I've not smoked a turkey since I got the Egg but have done several on my old offset and cherry was my favorite._________________________________________________________________________________________

I do them spatchcock style indirect (LBGE) at about 350*F on the dome-a 15# bird takes around 2.5 hrs (+/-) to 160+ in the breast. I ice the breasts around 15-20 mins before starting the cook so the thghs can get to the 180's about the time the breasts are finished. Hopefully Mickey will be along as he does turkeys all the time. BTW-15#'s spatchcock is about the largest that will fit on the LBGE without getting creative.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I like pecan wood for turkey. Great flavor and rich dark color.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

Go for the cherry.
I have used both Traverse City cherry wine or cherry balsamic as both a marinade and as an injection. Gotta' love Michigan. And cherry wood chips.

I picked up the BGE Sittin Turkey Ceramic eggsesory. Gonna try it out the next few weekends, wife makes me prepare several turkey's for the holiday. Last year I did one on the Weber, one in the Master Built Electric smoker and one in the oven (just for the smells). Didn't have the EGG last year, so I will have PLENTY of leftovers!!! Spatchcocked sounds interesting too.

I spatchcock and like 11lb or so birds best. Take just a little over an hour. Cook direct at 400 raised. I mix a small amout of cherry and pecan chips (not wet). I like a coffee rub but good with just s&p. If i think about it and have time i like to leave in fridge overnight uncovered to get a better skin

Look on the net for a good Brine Recipe and do the Brine first. Rinse it before you put it on the Egg and put your favorite Poultry Rub on. Set it in a rack and put your meat thermometer in to the breast to keep track of its progress. Have the Egg stabilized at 350 degrees and it should take about 2-1/4 hours for a 14lb bird. If yours is larger in will obviously take longer. I did one this year and it was awesome to say the least. The Brine part is a must for this and Chicken.

Mickey do you flip that during the cook? Do you find you have to watch the bottom from getting to dark? BTW the turkey looks wicked!
