Default Smoking a turkey breast - timing question

I'm trying something new - a half turkey breast, about 3 lb. How long should
I smoke it? I will brine it first and use an electric water smoker that runs
at about 215 degrees.

Thanks,

Default Smoking a turkey breast - timing question

Turkey breast smoked with hickory is terrific, and I find it tastes even
better the next day after the smoke flavor intensifies. On time, I would
estimate 3-4 hours. I would do it to about 160 F or so, and give it smoke
for about 45 minutes. Hickory can be harsh if you overdo it.

I have never brined turkey breast, but that is probably OK.
