smoking turkey breast

[jdsmoke]

okay the breast has been in for about 2 and a half hrs..its been sitting at 138* for about 15 mins..the brinkman is holding at 225...should i add some more mesquite chunks to bring up the temp or let it sit? its my first breast

You can run the temp up for turkey 250 275 your shooting for 165 internal temp.

If I hadn't replied, welcome to the SMF.
Did you calibrate the therm? Poultry can be smoked at high temps, if you want a more crispy skin, I have smoked at 450 for an hr., only to drop it to 350 for the duration on chicks. WD had a good one by asking if you've moved the probe to another part of the bird.
