Turkey
I smoked a 14 lb bird for thanksgiving last year at about 250 does anyone recommend 225 or stay at 250 when smoking the bird. Also if you smoke at 250 would you say 30 min. per pound for the turkey or how many min. per lb. at 225?

I believe getting closer to 350 will get you the best results.

Anything lower than 300 is pointless for skinned poultry.

Just did one on Tuesday @ 275º Rubbed with the house BBQ rub. Used mostly maple with a bit of hickory. Took about 5 hours for a 13 lb bird to reach 170º at the thigh. I do not brine my poultry. Use a Backwoods Pro with a full water pan plus a few sprays of the house wash every hour.

I have mixed it in the past, and once in a while just one or the other. The wild cherry gives me a heavenly Sweeeeeeeeeeet smoke.

I do an overnight brine on a 12-14 lb all natural bird. I fire up the WSM with a full load of K and two chunks of apple or cherry...no water in the pan...just foil it (it will also catch your drippings for gravy). When the temp hits 300 the bird goes on and smokes for 3 - 3.5 hours @ 325 ish until the breast hits 165...easy peasy!
