If you're worried about temps, buy a wireless thermometer probe.

There's even one for your iphone.
I'm looking more for smoking temp than internal temp
I did one last year that was fantastic. I used the spatchcock method (butterflying the bird). I made a butter and garlic injection then rubbed it with Plowboys Yardbird rub (picked up at Academy). Always cook skin-on poultry above 275 degrees (I start out at 195 for the first hour to get maximum smke penetration then bump to 300) to make sure the skin isn't rubbery. Cook to 165 degrees in the thickest part of the breast. Cooking time is greatly reduced by using the spatchcock method and the breast and thighs are done at the same time and both remain juicy. Cooking a 18 lb Butterball using this method in the morning. Have a cigarette ready when you're done.

I tried smoking a turkey last year, for the life of me I just can't keep the damn thing lit...
I'll try that on my next one. Thanks
Get a bigger lighter. Lol
I just put mine on the BGEgg at 6am, put a heavy coat of Butt Rub all over it and let it set at 200 degrees for about 5 hours. It will fall apart when I try to take it off the egg, always does.
