I don't use foil for turkey tits, or resting time in a cooler. I do let it stand on the counter for a little while before trying to carve. I also baste skin with butter every 45 minutes. makes the skin look great and crisps it up a bit. These are one of my favorite things to smoke. Oh, I always brine also. Maybe a foil heat shield right above to reflect some heat down on that skin also. I havn't tried that yet, but these guys say to use it. I usually pull off my birds at an internal temp of 170.

As long as the smoker is fired up, you might as well do 2. Make great leftovers and sandwich meat.
