I smoked a couple turkey halves in North Dakota where the outside
temperatures were between 5 below and 5 above, and the trick was to
get the inner smoker temperature above 80 degrees long enough to
permeate the bird.
Took about 12 hours or so, worked great!

Charles,
I have never smoked a turkey but since I have a smoker, I would use
a turkey breast rubbed with my favorite rub, smoke it for two hours
and turn my heat to 325 and cook for a couple of hours or until
internal temp is about 170 or so maybe 180. I usually smoke chicken
pieces or entire chickens. It takes a chicken about forty minutes to be cooked.

>> If you put the stuffing in the bird, to be safe, you need to
cook the bird longer and to a higher temperature than if the
stuffing is out of the bird. Both the turkey and the stuffing
taste better with the in the bird method. The turkey does get
dry. It helps if you brine the bird and use a fresh, high quality bird.
