Q: I have bought smoked turkeys from The House Of Bates in Alabama for years. But I am going to smoke my own this year. I now have a small electric smoker that has a wood box and is thermostat-controlled . I would like to know what temp. and how long to smoke it, per lb. Thank you for your help.

A: Brinkman, one of the big manufacturers of the electric smokers, recommends 45 minutes to one hour for each pound of turkey. Set the smoker to 250F. Use a thermometer to test for doneness, 165-175F.
