I did a similar thing this weekend, started at 200* for 2 hours then bumped it up to 300-350. I like pecan on my birds though.

I just bbq'd a turkey the other day in my kettle. I used a handful of wood pellets at the start and another handful after a bit. It was nice and smoky but definitely not overdone.

1 part hickory to 3 parts apple (or 1 pt hickory, 1 pt apple, 1 pt pecan). You can still say you used hickory and won't be dishonest. Some of the best q I've ever made was done by mixing woods. And I agree on keeping the smoke wood to a minimum. 3 small chunks that equal a single large man's fist should be plenty for poultry.

Just boil it and then hit it with a weed burner to crisp up the skin.

Your answers are here. Several great ones. I had the same dilemma one year. I cooked the nasty bird half on the smoker half in the oven. Made them happy. Cheating you say??? Not by a long shot. I don't eat turkey. Not when I have a 12 oz 2" filet that I cook for myself every year. And by the way. Guests get Lord Calvert and Smirnoff. I get Makers, Balvenie and Stoli.
The day comes once a year. Bust your hump to make "them" happy. But take care of yourself as well.

Not for this time, but try using dried corn cops in the lump next time. Cob-smoked turkey is very traditional here in Vermont. It gives a very mild smoke flavor and is pretty much all I use now for smoked poultry.

I have to agree with everyone on "cut back the smoke" hickory is a powerful one anyway.

The other said it best, sometimes less smoke is better.
