I'm doing my next one this way - my 14lb one took 7 hours at 225...But it was good! That looks perfect.

Just keep smoking, best way to figure out what you love and don't like. Poultry honestly doesn't benefit from real low temps, they don't have connective tissue to break down like large primal cuts have. I run about 275-325 and it gets plenty of smoke and crisps the skin up great.
 
I do chickens at 325 and they're great - read about rubbery skin with low and slow on poultry.

But man, there is a million opinions on doing turkeys, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I don't know if it helped, but I poured boiling water onto the skin right before - and it was very "eatable" when done.

But I'm spatchcocking the next time for sure.
