- Prepare the pellet smoker for indirect cooking at 300°F, using pecan pellets for smoke.

- Place the breasts on the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 150°F, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Baste with melted butter every 20 to 30 minutes.
- In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, orange juice and apple juice, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is syrupy.
- Brush each breast with the brown sugar and honey mixture and dust with turbinado sugar.
- Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remove from the smoker and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
