How Much Wood To Use To Smoke a Turkey
by: SmokerBill

How much wood to use smoking a turkey depends on a couple of things; how much smoke flavor you prefer, and the type of wood you are using. Using apple wood chips, I use three or four packets of chips to smoke the turkey, spaced out during the first couple hours of smoking. That gives the turkey a subtle smoke flavor.

Let experience guide you. Try a few packets this time, then if you think more smoke would be better, use one or two more the next time you smoke a turkey.
