Depends upon several variable factors, usually about 12 minutes per pound. Don't smoke to time, though, smoke to temp

No way do you go to 165 for turkey breast. 155 max. Ideally 150iah

Just go at 375. Will take an hour maybe. No need to go any lower temp.

Really?

Garn

Not me, that's way too high. Turkey doesn't have much fat to render, so it doesn't need to be low and slow,

What do you mean? You take it off at 140 and put it in a cooler? That sounds too

Garn don’t over think it. Follow my public service announcement I posted above😁

Why even smoke at that point? Might as well just put in the oven.

Nov 27, 11:34pm

If you’re on a smoker at 375 you will get more than enough smoke for a turkey…

Go 425 for 30, baste, then 375 until 163-165 degrees
