Just took my bird off 30 minutes ago. 250, 4 hours indirect, mesquite smoked. Brining is key to good turkey. My bird soaked overnight in a cooler. Moist as hell. Best ever.

Is there a reason everyone seems to be smoking at low temps? Why not smoke it at 350 or 400? This way it be a done in a few hours and the skin will likely still be crispy.

I'm no expert, but seems that you could have some drying out problems with too high too quick.
I cook more for temp than time and mine was done at about 4 hours.
