Is smoking a turkey the same a brisket?? I mean in terms of time? I have a 15 pound turkey I want to smoke and should it be about 45min per pound or is it shorter longer?? trying to gauge what time I need to put it on the smoker...
Thanks

I always cook a Mad Max Turkey which is shown here:

You should be able to do it on your Weber.

I treat the smoker like an oven...about 325. A big turkey will be in the 'danger zone' too long at lower temps, and it'll cook for 3-5 hours at 325, plenty time for smoke. I haven't done the butter soaked cheesecloth thang though. Sounds great.

What kind of wood do y'all use for the Turkey and do you put it directly on the grill or in a pan?

I used my UDS last year, and my old used Brinkmann SnP offset the year before. Directly on the grates. Milder wood. Pecan, apple, any citrus tree, mulberry, mix in cherry; personally I'd avoid mesquite and walnut. Or very small amount of the latter with any of the former mixed in. The more I use it, the more I like the medium large bags of hickory hunks available fairly readily, ie KMart, Wally World, several hardware stores. Those fist sized chunks are just too convenient. And I even split a few, to double the surface area. Good luck.
