Turkey Smoked Standing or Laying Down
by: Scott

If your smoker has room for the turkey to be upright, like on a big Foster's Beer can, it will cook nicely. For some reason, poultry cooked upright always seems to come out good.

But laying down is also works. Some say that by smoking a turkey breast side down, the breast meat ends up more juicy. Haven't tried that yet but it sounds like a good theory.
