i got a question about turkey

[mcp9]

ive been reading old posts all morning and can not find exactly what im looking for. if i smoke a 10# turkey at about 300-325 *, about how long will that take? i know to take it till the thickest part of the breast is 165*, but about how long does that take?

thanks in advance!

At those temps, about 20 minutes per pound or 3 1/2 hours. Of course that is just an estimate but should get you close.

Dick has it - but on that temp... 165 should ALSO be attained in the deep thigh. Go to 170 and be sure... 165 makes me nervous.

Richtee told me to go to 160 and never mentioned i was supposed to be nervous. Thanks Richtee. I'm still alive after many lbs. of my turkey.LOL.

Heh... Hmmm I actually DID tell someone like 145 or something once..a BAD typo. Tried for 3 hours to get him notified thru Jeff and the mods as he had logged off and had no public email addy!

Now don't be spreading rumors... or if I did say that, it was the Jim Beam.. ;{)
