Smokey Joe barrel smoker using lump charcoal & apple wood. DW has requested two bone in turkey breasts (pre-split @ 3 lbs each) and 1/2 turkey bone-in split in half down the middle @ 6.5 lbs (breast, wing, and thigh). I'm concerned that smaller individual pieces may cook faster than on whole bird. Whole bird cooking times of 30-35 mintues at 235 degrees would mean 90 minutes on the small breasts and about 3 hours on the 1/2 bird.
Also, what type of weight loss would you expect for each piece so I can be sure we have enough food.
What say you all?
Thanks
