turkey smoker temp

[shane58722]

i have read many different posts on smoking a turkey 225 degrees or 325-350  could i get opinions between low or high and why???

Low will allow more time in the smoke so more of a smoke flavor rubbery skin.

Higher temps it cooks faster and will have a crispy skin.

Happy smoken.

You can also combine methods. Smoke at 225-250° to an IT of 140-150 and finish to an IT of 165-170°F in a 425° Oven. Low an slow and crisp skin...JJ
