any good/specific brine you recommend? :upsidedow

That is joke?

most are about the same. water, sugar, salt. you can add seasonings to taste. boil 1 gallon of water and add 1lb of kosher salt. add 1lb of sugar/honey/brown sugar.. let the salt/sugar disolve. add 2 quarts of vegetable stock. add the bird to a cooler and throw in a 7lb bag of ice.

joke? nothing funny about it! =]

looks great :thumbsup

Happy Turkey Day!

i'm smokin a turkey atm, over some grapefruit wood with mesquite chips.. rubbed down by my wife.. in a 500# smoker.. will try and post some pics

I'm just on a small lake though - the big lakes are WAY out of my price range. But I have a lot next to me I own that's lakefront - we can make a cooking/real estate trade :)

(and Al-been-y isn't THAT far a drive for that meat, lol!)

dude... post a pic of your smoker

and did you build it, or buy it?

Based on what he answered previously:

http://www.nextag.com/great-outdoors-smoker/search-html

(first two are what he said he has)

i have a wood smoker i built but this is a cheapo gas smoker from wallyworld... see the link from Peaches above. its the top one which is the wider of the two.

i want to get a fancy stainless one from sams to match my grill at some point

heres the bird finished. the butts are wrapped in foil and still going for another couple hours.
