I should have checked the site on the turkey. Found out after I bought it that it is too big without halving it. Couldn't halve it as I had the pork already thawed. So I pulled it at about 3 1/4 hours at 132 degrees and put in a 375 deg oven. Temp was 145 deg at 4 hours.
Looking at about 7 more hours for the pork. Going to be a long night.
Edit:
Took the turkey out of the oven at 170 degrees - for my first go it tasted great, even passed the wife test. And the drippings will make a great gravy. The pork was taken off at about midnight at 195 degrees and rested for an hour. Some of the best I have made yet. I used apple wood for the smoke. I did learn a bit about using a water pan. I had water pans under both the pork and turkey. All day the best I could get was about 230- 250 degrees, but it was pretty consistent . When I took the pan from under the turkey out, my temp spiked to 300, and I had to adjust my air intake periodically.
