Smoke breat up or down

Might be a dumb question but do you smoke a turkey breast up or down?

I've always cooked breast up. Figured the heat is coming from the bottom, & dark meat needs more heat than white. Now if you're cooking in a roasting rack in a pan, you may want to cook breast down since there will be less heat inside the roasting pan.

When I roast a turkey in a roasting pan I start with the breast down (45 - 60 minutes) then rotate to each side (15 - 25 minutes each) and lastly breast up to finish lightly covering the breast with foil if necessary.
