I melt a stick of butter and soak it up in the cheesecloth, then put the cheesecloth on the breast in the smoker to help keep it from drying out.

You'll be done in 3 hours total

I'm worried it'll already be done in 1 hour

5 hours is too long for a turkey IMO

I don't. At this point we'll just see how it goes. Up to 138° now.

I was happy with it, considering it was my first time trying a turkey
