How long to smoke a turkey at 300

No matter how delicious and enticing a smoked turkey can be, there aren't many meals that cause as much second-guessing. Thanksgiving turkeys are a source of constant stress and confusion, not just because of the pressure of a big family meal but also because of the difficulty of turning what can be a dry, bland bird into something celebration-worthy.

Smoking a turkey is one of the best solutions to the first problem, infusing your dinner with the wonderfully deep and savory taste of hickory or applewood.

The second problem, however — getting your turkey perfectly cooked through while still keeping it juicy — remains just as difficult.

Smoking any meat is a matter of precise timing and temperature, and anything as big as a turkey just adds to that difficulty. Just how long it's going to take you to smoke a turkey is going to change a lot based on a number of different variables, but if you are planning on doing it, you should set aside at least five hours for cooking.
