Cooking a Turkey in Smokette

Former Member

The turkey I have is only 8 lb's. Would I just cook it for the 3 hrs as stated in the forum or do I want to go by the 35 - 45 minutes/lb as stated in the book? I have to make a brine, so is there any special one you would recommend?

Hmm,

Turkey....

I'd start here:
Turkey 101

The ONLY way to do it right, if you haven't done a bunch of them, is shoot for internal temp. There are just too many variables with the other methods.

Get a remote thermometer (Home Depot, Target, etc) and insert it into the thigh. Shoot for 170 to 175, no more.
