What temp?  Its my first.  I plan on probably finishing mine in the oven to crisp the skin a little more.  I am considering going with duck fat instead of butter.  Some site I saw said to ice the breasts prior to putting it in to help them cook more evenly with the rest of the bird.  I don't know if I believe that makes a huge difference, but it isn't much more effort to try.

I'm gonna run my birds at about 250-275 and cook them until they are done, basting about every 1.5 hours

Duck fat is awesome, knock yourself out

I've never iced, sounds neat though

Just make sure you temp probe the bird in several places before you finish cooking and you will be alright

Yeah, its been in the 20's all day here.  Been running it almost wide open all day to keep it at 225-240.  Two slabs ribs and a turk breast w. bone in. 

I didn't brine mine, because it is a butterball and a bunch of thimgs I read on line said that they don't need a brine.  I stuffed it w onion, bayleaf, granny smith apple, and celery then put some poultry rub on it.  It is about 5deg away from being ready right now.  Will pull it in a half our or so. Looks pretty good right now.

I haven't done a turkey before, but have stuffed chickens with similar type stuff with great results.  When I bake turkey breast, i stuff it with basically the same stuff minus the apple.  Thought the apple would add some moisture and some sweetness. 

Hope it isn't dry.  Not opening it up until tomorrow, so will report back in then.

Nice, that is what I figured. Never have smoked a turkey.

I went ahead and dropped the turkeys a couple hours early due to the weather

I can always pull them off when they are done and hold them at temp

rest are getting dropped in tje fryer in the morning

My boys are frozen but the wintry precip held off last night

About another hour and I'll be done and more than ready for some sleep

Guys, I just tried some of the turkey.  Pretty good if you are in to that sort of thing.
