Thanksgiving Smoked turkey Meathead style

[KBARD]

I am still sort of a newbie.. but last week found the recipe from Meathead...
I had smoked a couple of turkeys before but was skeptical of the drippings (for good southern gravy)
So I baked a turkey along with smoking and collecting the drippings...
Well I made the gravy from both drippings and it is pretty darn awesome...
The smoked turkey was a winner with the family and guests..
And the 2 turkeys.. well there were lots of leftovers and I will still enjoy some things I set aside like legs and wings. ;-)

Awesome! What was the temp when it came off and how long did it cook?

[KBARD]

Thanks ...
I smoked this in my WSM ... my temp goal was to cook at 325, but for some reason I could not get the temp above about 275 so it took longer... about 4 hrs
It was very juicy and the drippings made for a very good gravy... comparing it to my traditional from the baked turkey there was very little difference...

The WSM rocks. I have a KBQ and a WSM 22.5. You can not beat the WSM for convenience. I use a stoker 2 on it.
