We have an MES. In October, I did a 14 lb turkey for Canadian Thanksgiving. The outside temp was about 45+ degrees and cooked the turkey at about 325. SMoker in the garage with double overhead doors open (triple garage). The turkey smoked in about 4 hours. Turned out wonderfully.
I am doing same size turkey for US TG this Thursday. Outside temp is going to be about 28 degrees. I will have the overhead garage door closed this time and the smoker positioned near the door going to the back yard for ventilation but also so the garage doesn't get so cold.
How much time will the cooler outdoor temp add to cooking the turkey? I imagine the garage will still be above freezing, but I have no idea how much the outside temp will affect the cook time.
