No..I always try to smoke at between 250 and 300. When I pulled the thermometer out juices squirted out and flavor turned out great....Maybe since Bertha is so so big she does not over smoke the meat like a small smoker. I have found that after 3 or 4 hours the meat wont take anymore smoke flavor and I use about 2/3 cherry to 1/3 hickory so it is not an over bearing smoke taste . I also pulled it off at 166 degrees....if you do that they never dry out. I would put up against any fried turkey.

Actually I'm doing a turkey on the kettle today... Looks like yours turned out great! I am not going to over think it... Just throw in some charcoal... A piece of oak or apple and let her rip.. I hope she fits in my 18.5!

Last years. Hoping for better results. Was the first cook on my WSM. Tasted ok, but too much smoke.
