Rick, I too like to cook my turkeys low and slow. If you plan on eating at 2pm I would suggest you start between 7-8am. I generally cook 12-16lb birds and they take between 4.5-5.5 hours with a dome temp in the 245-265º range and using sand or firebricks in the pan. I have done a couple 20+lbers and they take about 6-6.5hrs. Here's a couple birds from a recent cook.
