I e got a 6.5 lb bird I’m gonna smoke for a pre thanksgiving cook just want to run the process by you all. I’m gonna rub and inject the bird then the plan is to smoke it At 300-325 deg till the breast hits 165deg, just wondering how long do u think this will take so I can get my meal Timing right. 3-4hrs?

What kind of pit? At 300 - 325, the bird should be done before 4 hours.

It’s a masterbuilt 3 shelf 2 door propane.

First of all I would pull the bird at 157 degrees, then after a brief rest on the counter the IT will get to 165. It will be much more juicy that way. At that temp I would say about 2 + hours.
