Pay attention to the danger zone time frames.  Basically, you want to keep the time the bird is between 40 and 140 to less than 4 hours.  the larger the bird the more difficult this is.  Good luck and I am sure these will be better than the ones bought in the store.

I will probably will smoke them at 300-325 degrees.
 
At the temps you are smoking them at, and if you spatch you will be fine getting your temp above 140 in 4. Those are some big birds!
 
Jimmy, M R huge turkeys! Looks like someone plucked a pterodactyl! I would also try Pop's brine if you can find a bucket big enough.
 
just halved them and they are in the brine (salt and brown sugar). Only going to smoke one of them putting the other in the freezer for a later day.
