I smoked it with hickory. Not too shabby, but next time I will brine and spend more time with it. The breasts are not as moist as I had hoped for but I did over cook it a bit. Went to 175 in the breast.
Nice bird. I will say that brining does smake a huge difference. Give it a try and you will never go with out it again. My family wants me to brine the bird even if it goes in an oven.
