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?
