Admittedly not smoked, but brined and roasted. 20+ lbs took about 5 hours at 500 for 30 min and then 350 for 4.5 hours.

 
Still looks good, even if you didn't Q it. Whats with the 500 for 30 mins ?
 
Hey, one nice thing about roasting...you don't have to worry about where the turkey fat goes!:thumb:

Looks good!

I coat it with canola oil and the 500 degrees is just to give it a nice browning before slow cooking at at a lower temp. I use Alton Brown's recipe.
 
I made a crapload of gravy...I took the giblets and neck and made a turkey stock in my pressure cooker and then froze it to skim off the fat for the gravy.

Came out great.
