Full Fledged Farker
Over the weekend, we did an early family thanksgiving dinner for my niece who was home for R&R from "overseas". I smoked a 14 pound turkey for the meal.
I have a pretty basic smoker (Brinkmann electric) so it is very difficult to control the temp. After reading many posts here, I was thinking an hour and a half per pound, but no, it took 7 hours to totally cook that baby. I brined it first for about 6 hours. Rubbed it with a home made rub. The outcome was great smoked turkey.
I have also heard that smoked meat is better the second day. True story here. I made turkey sandwiches for lunch each day, and they are terrific. That nice smoky flavor comes through. :-D
