Smoked a bone in turkey breast this past weekend. It went for about 5 hours on highland offset reverse flow smoker. The only difference this time is that I added a water pan in the smoking chamber right next to the firebox. I also brined the turkey the night before.

Looks amazing. Did you notice a difference with the added water pan? What type wood did you use? Turkey breast and mesquite are a match made in heaven from my perspective. Thanks for the Q.

Looks great! I do six pound breasts after a 24 hour brine. Four hours at 250 produces consistently superb results.
 
Looks mighty tasty to me.

Point for sure.

Yes I did notice a difference with the water pan installed. It seemed to help with temp fluxes. I used 1/2 chimney of lump charcoal and then the rest of the smoking was done with Hickory wood.
