    Slaughter House Brine

    Ya don't have ta boil first. What ya can do is bring the water ta a boil, turn off the heat then add salt an sugar. Mix well then add in the rest. Either way work just fine. If ya have any doubts bout yer water never hurts ta boil it.

    I gave it that name cause I learned the trade from my pa an granpa. They both worked fer a packin plant. It took several years ta come up with this an it be nothin like the stuff they inject inta poultry these days.

    to brine or not to brine turkey..

    Brine it. What them factory birds been injected with be mostly water an salt. A good brine will flush that out an add a bit a flavor.

    Brining a Turducken...

    I see not a reason one why ya can't brine it. I would inject as much brine as ya can all over that contraption. Cause it ain't gonna reach the middle anytime soon. Then smoke no lessin 325 cause that be a big piece a meat an poultry likes higher temps any who.

    Poultry does not benefit from low an slow.  I smoke poultry at 325 till the breast hits a internal a 165.  This gives ya a better skin.
