- Soak wood chips in water 1 hour prior to cooking turkey.
- Set up smoker with charcoal; light about 30 minutes prior to using.
- Mix all spices with butter.
- Gently lift skin on turkey breasts with fingers so as not to rip skin; push butter mixture under skin.
- Place onions and celery inside breasts.
- Place wood chips on coals.
- Place breasts on top grill being careful to keep onions and celery stalks inside breasts.
- Smoke 6 to 8 hours until temperature reaches 160 degrees (70 C.) (you will have to add more coals to fire 2 or 3 times during cooking depending on temperature.
- Use care to make sure coals don't go out).
