Smoked Turkey estimated cook time at 325?

[Midway]

I've searched and haven't found a range for the approximate time it should take to smoke a whole turkey without stuffing. My Turkey is 15.36 pounds. I seem to remember around 3 hours last year. I should have made notes. Mak 2 Star. Thanks.

Did a 14lber spatchcocked this morning - 2h2m to 155F, probably 300-325F.

Second, 14.5lb, spatchcocked, took about 2h15m-2h20m. I didn't push the temp on that one as much. Running 280-310 for the most part.

Thanks. My 3 hour estimate may be close for a whole turkey.

Meathead says 2.5 to 3 hours.

Meathead article also suggests smoking for 30 minutes on high smoke, then turning it up to 325°. That’s my plan, just put mine on the pellet smoker!

smokenoob Thanks. I did the 30 min. smoke while confirming the estimated cook time. Turkey is on, candied Yams and stuffing/dressing ready for the oven. Just need to make the garlic mashed potatoes and my work is done. My wife will handle the rest. Thanks again.

Yup on the 30 min of high smoke. Give you a big differnce tween an oven bird.
