Instructions

  1. 1 Place charcoal into the bottom pan of the smoker. Light coals and wait for temperature of the smoker to come to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). Lightly oil grate.
  2. 2 Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Soak hickory chips or chunks in a pan of water.
  3. 3 Place turkey onto the prepared grate. Add 2 handfuls damp chips at start of cooking, then a handful every couple of hours during the cooking process. Cover the smoker and maintain the temperature at 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). Do not lift the lid frequently, as this will release heat and smoke. Continue smoking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 hours.
  4. 4 Remove the turkey from the smoker. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for before carving.
