How long do I smoke a 12 pound turkey if I spatchcock it? Planning 275 degrees

Garn

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

To crisp up the skin need high heat for over an hour.

Put it under the broiler for 6 minutes to crisp the skin

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,

There isn’t any need to cook lower than 350-375.

Are you smoking your Turkey at 350? Or do you do oven?

No poultry needs low and slow

Ya you’ll get plenty of smoke flavor. Spatchcock makes the cook go faster. If

A lower temp will reduce the effect of uneven heating and overcooking or

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

Garn

Nov 27, 11:17pm

No. I take it offf at 163 ish and let it cool

niqmadu

Nov 27, 11:24pm

Trust me you get far better results not going over 155

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

BlackBart

Then let rest for 20 minutes before carving

Agree except there is no reason to cook breast higher than 155. You just start
