re: First time smoking a turkey

I was also hoping for a heaver smoke taste than I got. I was using the Pecan wood chips. Does Pecan wood always gives off a hit of smoked taste or do I need to find Pecan chunks or logs?

Chunks or logs are best. And don't be afraid to use a lot of it. I like to have continuous smoke.

When I use hickory chunks, I add 4-5 pieces when I see the smoke stop, usually 30-45 minutes on my smoker. I go through about half a 5 lb bag of wood chunks for a turkey.

When I use oak firewood, I add one at a time. It'll last about an hour.
