I used Smokin's honey brine and soaked a 12 lb turkey for 18 hours then rinsed it and applied olive oil and then CS chicken rub. Put it in the 55 @ 225 and used 4oz of hickory and pulled it out when the meat thermometer reached 167, which took 6 hours. Wrapped the turkey in foil and let it sit for 35 minutes...I think it was the best turkey I've ever eaten and my wife said it was the best she's eaten..this is too easy Smiler I've got a picture of the finished bird if someone can post it for me.

The skin was kinda tough but good flavor. Is there a method to get cripsy skin without having to put the turkey on a grill/oven? The less than crisp skin on the turkey and chickens isn't a big issue with me.

I do have a question for those of you that cook turkeys...Do you automatically pull the turkey when the breast temp hits 160F? Perhaps I should put the temp probe in the thigh vs the breast.
