1. 008
2. 11.4 lbs.
3. brine 48 hrs.
4. 250 temp with 4 oz. applewood
5. 4 hrs.
6. comments: this was my first turkey using the 008. I put the turkey breast side up on the bottom shelf so the dark meat would be near the heating element. Put probe in breast and set timer for 165. The timer alarm sounded at 3 hrs but the inner thigh was only at 171.

I continued to smoke it till the thigh reached 175, another 1 hr. Removed and tent foiled for 45 min. The meat was moist with a nice smoke flavor but the thigh meat could have been more tender.

Next time I will put the bird breast side down with the thigh meat near the ceiling of the smoker since the top runs 20 deg. hotter.
