Ya brining the bird ? I personally like brining my turkeys ! What's your prep plans ? After brining, I like to pat dry with paper towels & coat with a little peanut oil.... What temp ya smoking it at ? You'll wanna smoke til IT of 165* IT in the breast & 175* IT in the thigh.... I don't smoke to time, just IT & some will take longer than others but if you've got the time as ya say, just enjoy the smoke with a couple cold ones !
