Directions

1. 1
   Place turkey in a roasting pan. Rub salt all over and inside turkey. Let sit for 1 hour.
2. 2
   Preheat smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). If your smoker is equipped with a water pan, fill it.
3. 3
   Rinse salt off turkey and pat dry with paper towels. Return to roasting pan and baste with melted better. Cover with aluminum foil and place in smoker.
4. 4
   Cook for about 3 hours; remove aluminum foil. Continue to cook, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
5. 5
   Remove turkey from the smoker and tent with aluminum foil. Let it rest in a warm area before slicing, 45 to 60 minutes.
