Welcome to the site Brad and congratulations on the new smoker. There's a search function at the top of the page that will help you out. That is if someone doesn't chime in shortly. Sorry I can't help you out - as I'm more of a charcoal kinda guy, and don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

I would spatchcock the turkey and your choice to inject or brine in.. rub the outside with vegetable or olive oil and some seasoning.. crank it up to 350 and it'll be done in about 90 min or so... check the temps in the thigh AND the breast

Last time I smoked a Turkey, I brined it for 24 hours, rinsed and stuffed it with apples and onions then smoked it at 225 degrees for 9 hours. Best Turkey I've ever had. Used the same technique for smoked Canadian goose for Christmas as well.

So many ways, so little time... My take: halve it, pops low salt brine and inject, rest a week, pat dry and 24hr pellicle, smoke @200F take breast to 160F (long time like 18hours) try apple if you have it. Rich and decadent. Too rich for dinner but the ideal appetizer.

Search for Jeffs maple bbq turkey. Made it at Thanksgiving last year and it was requested again for Christmas. They say bigger turkeys are better suited for the spatchcok method.

How big was yours? Wife got a 21lb turkey and worried it is too big to smoke at that temp.
