The liquid & beer can should supply enough moisture to allow the turkey to remain moist at these temperatures.

Though, if using a turkey over 12 lbs, the internal temp will be more difficult to maintain.

Sorry, I misspoke. You want the smoker @ 250 - 300, but Phobia is right...165 is optimal internal temp.
