So I got the free turkey from the local grocery store. My eyes were too big and I picked up a 22lb turkey

I am smoking this tomorrow on WSM, Any ideas of how long something this big will take to cook?

Thanks
 
I did one that big for thanksgiving and I think it only took about 5 hrs at 350. Turkey on the WSM is one of the best things to eat ever in my opinion. Make sure you cook it in a roaster to catch all the juice to make gravy.
 
Bryan, Did a 23 lb turkey for Thanksgiving. Granted it was brined,but it took around 4 1/2 hours. Unbrined should take a little longer . Pat's time was about right
 
I did a 23 pounder for christmas, I had the WSM cruising at about 330-360 the whole time, took right at 4 hours to get to 165 in the breast. It was brined for 24 hours, came out excellent. I smoked it over cherry, really nice light smoke on it. Birds of this size are about as big as will fit under the lid of an 18.5.
