yes i must say they look good im going to do 2 chickes this weekend for luch meat why do you pull it then rap it in tin fole ?
 
It will continue to cook with the temperature raising another 5 or so degrees once you pull it. I wrap it to retain the moisture and heat (usually put meat once pulled in a cooler). It's always advisable to let any meat rest once you pull it off the smoker.
 
Great job, I have been waiting for on a sale but none so far.

I had turkey-bacon-ranch sammies, turkey salad sammies (chicken salad type recipe), and a broccoli-rice-cheese casserole with my smoked breast I did recently. Adds a nice rich flavor with the smoked turkey breast. Wanna do a pot pie with it next time!
 
Good lookin' bird! Mesquite eh? Ahhh well, if ya like it strong, that's yer wood. Oughta try turkey with apple or cherry sometime... it's almost a sweet flavor.
 
I use all kinds of woods, cherry and apple included, but for turkey we prefer a "light" smoke with mesquite. The key is to use one small chunk.
 
How many pounds was it and how long did you smoke it? I'm looking for a first-time project, and am thinking about doing a turkey breast.

Jim, to be honest I don't remember how much it weighed. Being that I cook by thermometer, I very seldom pay much attention to weight.
I want to say it took about 4 hours or so, but don't hold me to that. I did try to maintain my temperature at or around 300 and I think I picked up the lid one or two times for a quick peak. I never did turn the breast, but kept it back side down.
Wished I could be more on the money for you where as time and weight are concerned. I would suggest that you do cook by thermometer, when you hit 170, pull it off the pit, wrap it in foil and put in a cooler for a while. I do that with just about anything except bbq chicken pieces. Those get pulled and eaten right away around here.
 
That's cool. The time is more of what I was after - weight just because I couldn't tell by looking at it, and want to gauge how long I need to plan for it.
