I'm considering smoking my first Turkey this year for Thanksgiving. I normally enjoy how simple it is just throwing it in the oven, but thought maybe it's time to throw it on the stick burner to take it to the next level.
I've read the instructions here and from what I've gathered probably the most important thing is to cook at a higher temperature than normal to get a crispy skin.
I wanted to check and see if any of you had some other "tips" to help me ensure I do not mess up the bird? Also, if you can give me a feel for how long it might take that would be great as well. I'll buy the smallest small turkey I can buy as there is only 3 of us, so probably about 12lbs if my memory serves me correctly. I was thinking about targeting 275-300 on my smoker. And if it's not asking too much, if there are any Thanksgiving sides that would also go great on the smoker please let me know.
Thank you!
Daniel
