I bought a smokeymoutain smoker yesturday. I smoked a turkey today. I put olive oil on the skin. Spices under and on top of the skin. I cooked it at about 250 for 3.5 hours, until the internal temp was 165. I also wraped the turkey in foil for an hour after it was done. It was still hot when I unwrapped it,
the skin was very dark and I had no smoke ring.The white meat was very juicy and tender. The dark meat was not done, it was a little pink and tough. I did truss the turkey and stuffed an onion inside. The white meat tasted great. I also had a little trouble with too much smoke. I think I put too much wood in the smoker to begin with, I used 3 chunks. I did use lump charcoal for the first time. I did not have any trouble controlling the heat (at least I don't think so). I had a constant 250 degrees. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was also supprised the turkey was done so fast. HELP!!!
