First off let me introduce myself. I am 25 years old, married with 2 kids and I have been in the army serving as a medic for the past for years. I don't want to take to much of your time, so I will get straight to my question.
We are expecting around 9 people for thanksgiving and my wife bought a 24 pound turkey for me to smoke. Thing is the largest turkey I ever smoked was 16-18 pounds., and everything that I have read says that anything above 20 pounds is dangeroous to smoke. Should I bake it in the oven for around 4 hours then smoke it or should I smoke it for 12 hours or so and finish it of in the oven. All suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.
