how long to smoke a turkey
For those of you that have smoked several turkeys in the past, I was wondering approximately how long would it take to smoke a whole turkey that is about 12-14 lbs at a temp between 225-250.Trying to figure out what time I'll need to start it for a noon meal on Thanksgiving. used smoked till the bird temperature was around 145F and cooked till it was at 165F. The total time was four hours though. This year I used my Treager to cook a turkey. It was a 22 pound bird and it took 4.5 hours to reach 165F at the breast at 325F cooking temperature.
