    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
