Most fruit wood is very good. As you know fire management is key. Cathy will be responding to the receipt.

Rick,
There are many variables that enter the picture when cooking a turkey low and slow on a smoker/cooker. Some people put their turkey in an a disposable pan, some wrap their turkeys in foil, while others place the turkey on the grill and wrap the wings and legs. Temperature variations can make a difference. Some cook at 225 (generally recommended) which means that 35-40 minutes per pound will do the trick. Others use up to 300 degrees when cooking their turkey, which could shorten cooking time. Low and slow has a range. Did you stuff your turkey? If so, you might need additional time to complete the cooking cycle. Always use a meat thermometer (temp must reach 165) and always let your bird rest for at least a half hour to 45 minutes before carving. This assures that the juices are retained guaranteeing you a moist, tender result. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Lang.
Thanks so much for feedback !
