2 hours prior to smoking, remove the turkey from the refrigerator, rinse the turkey, and allow to warm up to room temperature. Bring smoker up to 225 -235 degrees and place 1/2 the woodchips on a hotplate on coals or electric burner.Place the drip pan directly beneath where the turkey breast will sit.ou will want to reach an internal temperature of around 160-170 degrees in thickest part of the breast. Buying a turkey breast with a pop up timer is a great idea as well. Remove the turkey from the smoker, cover with foil, and let rest for 30 minutes before carving.
