I'm no expert but I've been told the most important thing to smoking poultry is to soak it in a brine. It breaks down the muscles and allows the smoke/juices to infiltrate better. I recently did a Turkey and there was no comparison between baking and smoking. Given it was the first time I ever soaked on and spatchcocked. Perhaps next time I do one in the overn I'll try that method.
