Teach to Lead is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Education and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to advance student outcomes by expanding opportunities for teacher leadership, particularly those that allow teachers to stay in the classroom. The initiative seeks to:
1 If the internal temperature is low after 3Â½ hours, take your turkey off the smoker and finish it in the oven. 2  Cook the turkey to internal temperatures of 175Â° F to 180Â° F in the thigh and 165Â° F in the breast. 3  Your turkey may take up to 12 hours to cook.
1 Position one or two smoker wood packets in the smoker. 2  When those have finished smoking, add one more. 3  Continue adding new packets until approximately half the total smoking time has passed. 4  For instance, a chicken, estimated to take three hours, needs about 1-1/2 hours of smoke for flavoring. 220-240 degrees is the ideal range for ribs and brisket. 2  Chicken and turkey can be smoked at that temperature range too, but are best smoked in the 275-300 degree range. 3  With some of the electric smokers, it's impossible to reach those higher temperatures.
