hey all,
so i did my first turkey last year for thanksgiving. it as a 13lber and and it took about 5 hours at 275degrees to get to 165 IT. This year for a work thanksgiving party they want me to do 2 20lbers....i'm wondering first off if this is to big of a turkey and will it dry out? I usually ice down the breast before hand as to not dry it out. If i'm ok with the size and smoke at 275...how long should i expect it to take? 7-9 hours?
any advice would be great as turkey's are still new to me
thanks in advance
