Has anyone smoked a Turkey?

I have a #2 and smoked a 13lb turkey a few months ago. I brined it the day before, rub it for an overnight rest in the fridge, and if I recall correctly, it took about 4.5 hours to reach 170IT. More recently, I did a 7lb turkey breast after brining for about 4 hours and rub the night before. The turkey breast also took about 4.5 hours to reach 165IT, and then I double foil wrapped and put in a cooler for an hour or so to rest.
So my plan to T-Day is a full turkey with stuffing in the oven, and a turkey breast on the smoker. I will have the breast done in time to rest in a double foil wrap before dinner.

There are some really good recipes in the poultry section for turkey - check them out when able!
Did a 12 pound bird for Thanksgiving. Brined 12 hours and rubbed for deliciousness. Took about 4.5 hours at 250F. Came out juicy and had such good smokey flavor. Used 1/2 Cherry and 1/2 Apple wood.
So far I have done Brisket (Mmmmmmmmm) Chicken (so easy and yummy) Turkey (was DA BOMB) and ABT's (always a staple). Now that I have this all dialed in I will be posting pics of the smokes I do in the future.

Also just received and put together the Smokin-It #2 cart and cover. Man that just makes an already great smoker AWESOME. Thanks Stu!!!
