Pulled it out at about 2 hrs and 15 minutes. I had lowered the temp in the smoker a bit and tented the breast. Final temps as I measured are 166 breast and about 172 in the thigh. I am not use to the built in thermo not poping but they are probably still set to the old higher temps I guess. Will reheat the bird abit when we get to the inlaws.
One bird down, next is the one that is going in the fryer but that is getting done when I get to their house. 18 lb bird I am estimating at about 65 - 70 minutes at 3.5 per lb.
These birds were brined for about 10 - 11 hours. I cant wait to taste them!!
