Turkey cooking time

[oconeeal]

We want to eat between 2 and 3.  I have a 13lb turkey.  I know the internal temperature will tell me when it done.  I will start the smoker up around 300 and will keep between 275-300.  We will have a cool start to the day around 40.  What time should I put the turkey on?

At that temp range it will run between 20 and 30 minutes a pound so around 7AM, I threw in some extra time to CYA. Good Luck...JJ
