smoking generally dries and cures meat. Is that really what you want to do with a turkey? Beef Jerkey….OK.... Smoked Salmon..... Yes, But a whole Turkey? No. If you want to smoke Turkey, you may want to cut it into pieces as has already been suggested. An expect it to dry during the cooking. Fried Turkey seals in the juices and you get a moist bird in a fairly short amount of time.

OK, I'll ask. Why do you have to go out of town to smoke a turkey? Local ordinance? Fire hazard? I guess an old timey bonfire would be completely out of the question!
Thanksgiving at inlaws house...put the turkey on about 9:40 took it off at 6:30 was perfect..About everybody likes it and enjoyed it
