    NEWBIE - "2" 9lb Turkey Breasts "Bone In"- any suggestions

    Here's the pics... hope they show up.  Turns out the smoked turkey breasts took about 1 less than the calculated time.  I'm going to invest in a better probe thermometer... the one on the MES isn't accurate enough. Thanks for your help!  It was a hit.

    Got it..., I think :) I'll start the MES, crank it to 275*, load the chips, wait for it to get to temp, then open, put the breasts in, and keep the smoke flowing for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Once the smoke stops, I'll wait till we hit 165* internal temp and let the birds rest till we eat. Can't wait...

    Hi Eric, Thanks for the message!  Sounds good.  I need to confirm my MES will get to 275.   How long should I keep the smoke flowing? Does it make sense to pre-heat the smoker, then open it to put the meat in? Thanks! Jim

    Howdy all! I'm getting ready to smoke a couple 9lb turkey breasts.  I'm lost on smoking turkey.  I have a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker that I've used on Brisket and Tri-tip (both came out awesome).   Temps in Austin, TX will get down to 48 deg tonight.   We are planning on eating tomorrow at 2...

    Howdy, I'm from TX and I've always wanted to smoke meat.  I've got a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker and haven't even turned it on yet.  It uses wood chips. I'm planning on cooking a tri-tip tomorrow and I'm curious how long it will take? Thanks!
