How much time do you think it would add?

I always smoke turkeys at 250, but tried 275 on this one.  I've tried the higher temps since then, but have decided I like 250.  It should only add about 30 minutes (in reference to this smoke).  I usually count on 4 - 4.5 hours for a bird this size.

13 hours in, I removed the turkey and rinsed it well.  It then sat on a rack in the fridge, uncovered, for the next 4 hours.  I filled the cavity with chopped onion, celery and carrots, rubbed with olive oil and McCormick's Roasting Rub.

I know this is an older post but just wondering if the McCormick's Roasting Rub is still an available product.  I searched their website for it(which is not the greatest) and came up empty.

Not sure if McCormick's still makes the roasting rub, Marty...I haven't seen it lately, either!  I have a big bottle of Lawry's Chicken & Poultry Rub I bought at Sam's, and it works great, too!  Any poultry rub that has the "Thanksgiving" ingredients, like sage/Rosemary/thyme, will be great!
