    Smoked Turkey Recomendations

    Thanks for the brine story. I was hoping to get a post regarding the % salt solution a frozen bird comes with and a brine as I didn't want to ruin one of the birds. This should be alot of fun this weekend. I'm definately going to brine one of the breasts and inject the other. I'll post...

    Smoked Turkey Recomendations

    Smoked Turkey Recomendations
