+1 on brining the bird. Just make sure the bird wasn't already "enhanced". This will make the bird too salty.
I smoked 2 last Saturday for our family Thanksgiving feast. (Moved ahead cuz the eldest shipped out to the NAVY Monday am.)
I'll smoke one more for this coming Saturday for all those that didn't make the first one.
I use a Creole rub and a butter & jalapeno injection.
Don't forget, the smoked drippings make a great gravy.

So, I think I'm going to smoke a turkey this year. I've done some independent reading on this, and re-read this thread, but am confused on something: the reading I've done says that a 8 - 12 lbs. turkey needs to smoke for 10 hours. Reading Abyr's post, though, this can't be right.

We're having Thanksgiving at my parents house - who are not adventurous eaters at all. We're smoking the bird on Friday sometime. I'll try to take pictures and post them up here.

I understand that I should brine the bird - any other tips?
