Gobble gobble turkey cooking time WSM 22.5

[JoeMercado]

so I decided on a cooking temperature for the bird weighing in 18 pounds on WSM/digiq guru, apple juice Brined 24 hours apple with a hint of cherry for smoke, gonna put water in the pan I’m gonna cook the bird at 265, a lot of different recipes but no one ever agrees on times and I’m not a big skin guy regardless or Krispy or not any input would be appreciated Kevin at Weber agrees water in pan best for moist bird against other opinions?

I have no idea on cook time at 265, but at that temp water in the pan should be fine.

Hey Joe,
I will be smoking a 14lb turkey in my 22wsm on tue. Don’t know wether to use water in the pan or not. I will post what happens.
