First time smoking a turkey

Going to smoke a turkey for the first time this Thanksgiving. Looking to see if anyone has some helpful tips.
Going to be using. Just got the side fire box last week. Will be the first time smoking with it.

Good luck. Never did one in pit/smoker like that.

I use a water smoker and love to smoke 'em. For seasoning, I rub the dry bird all over with EVOO...helps bind the seasoning and the bird browns very well, too.I like to give the bird a liberal coating of Tony's, all over, a lighter sprinkle of lemon prpper, all over, and a good sprinkle of paprika over the top. I use the aromatics(and seasonings) in the cavity, too, and I always put some lemon, orange, satsuma, and/or apple in the cavity and in my water pan. Like you, I always use pecan wood or hulls for my smoke. Try not to over cook it, and it will be awesome. If your not using a water smoker, you may consider putting a water pan close to your heat source.

Get an internal temperature probe. Takes all the guesswork out of knowing when its done without having to open the lid frequently towards the end of cooking to check for doneness. Take the turkey off when it reaches 160 degrees and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
If you aren't picky about how the turkey looks when you take it off, get yourself a turkey v-rack. Place the turkey breast side down on the rack. The breast will be more moist since all the drippings will fall down on the breast. The downside is the breast will have rack marks and not look as good.
