Wood for turkey

[Guest]

All I have is hickory - is it easy to oversmoke?
I have a 12 pound turkey...how many chunks of wood?

Think I would use two chunks ... if you are running a hot WSM your smoke wood may be consumed quickly ... add wood as necessary to apply smoke for 2 - 3 hours.

Thanks, Shawn. That's what I have in there. We'll
see!

Everyone's preferences are different, but, with turkey, I go with two fist-sized chunks of a fruit or nut wood at the beginning, and that's it.
