Had this 22 lb bird sitting in the freezer (already pumped..wife bought it), so decided to do it up this weekend. I didn't do a thing to it (trying to eat a little healthier so Puff will stop calling me fat ).

I put in over Royal Oak lump with maple and cherry. Pulled it off when the breast was 163.

Cut it all up and had 3 freezer bags of smoked turkey to last a while!

Now that's a good looking bird. I smoked one last thanksgiving and the folks loved it. That cherry wood does great with birds.

I think I'm commited to making one every year that way now.

Brother, I understand the "trying to eat healthier so people stop calling me fat" syndrome. I'm right behind you on that one.

What did the thigh temp read when you took it off ?

when it hit 185, I moved the probe to the breast and left it there. I'd rather have nice moist breast than overdone thighs.
