Now that it's safe to ask a turkey question, I'm pondering on doing my next bird hot and fast, say 425/450.
I know I prefer chicken cooked hot and fast, and would like to try a turkey that way next time.
Any hot and fast guys here?
 
Okay, half hot and fast..
 
I like to do at least an hour or so of smoke at 225°-250°, and then I finish at 375°-400°.

Even cooking with the higher temp I find that attention needs to be paid to the skin in order to get a desirable bite through consistency.
