LOL!
Keep the smoker up there for poultry, maybe 250-300 ish. Take all poultry to 170 min. I like mine round 180-190.

Brining is a good thing, altho with thighs you probably won't have an issue with moistness. Breasts are another ballgame tho.

Brine em, then toss them in the smoker till the hit 170*. As for time, it takes a turkey thigh however long it takes a turkey thigh to get to 170*. I would (like rich said) smoke in the 250* to 300* range. Give em a spritz every now and again (bout every hour). Good luck.

They turned out GREAT...I took them to about 180 however...but they were still GREAT. Thanks so much for all the help...Im starting to really get into this!

LOL...180's OK. Thighs have alot more latitude. A breast, like I mentioned..is a bit more persnickety. We'll discuss brining and foiling and injecting then.

Congrats..and Q-view!?!?

PS check out the NEW TIME thread hahahaha!
