Cooking a big 22 pounder on the WSM tomorrow. Planning on 335 to 350 cook temp. Have done this several times with smaller birds but never one this big. Any thoughts on cook time? Thanks.
 
The last 22# took me about 6 hrs in crappy cold weather. I think you should be fine around 5 hrs, give or take.

Exactly what Timothy said. Mine was 22 1/2 lbs and it was stuffed as well. Took almost exactly 6 hours. Did my on the 26 OTG, not the WSM.
 
I just cooked a 23 lbs. bird for Thanksgiving at just north of 300 degrees and it took nearly four hours. Weather was ideal though. Minimal wind and air temp of about 60 degrees.
