Quick Turkey questions

[chopper]

Smoking a turkey today in my new GOSM and have two last minute questions:

1 - do I give it a "drying time" before adding smoke?

2 - Where do you all put the therm? Breast / Thigh?

I pat mine down an let the water/brine drain out then give em some rub an inta the hot smoker.

Either one will work, I generally use the breast an gota 170*.

Good luck on the bird!

Don't be usin that dirty word! Finally thins er gettin green round here, two days a rain though, long as we don't have a flood like last year! Don't care ta go through that again anytime soon!

Little snow never stops a smoke round here, not as much fun as a nice day, but ya gotta smoke!

"ya gotta smoke!"

100%...and with this weather, I don't need to add as much ice to keep my squeezin's cold :)
