Some body help me. I'm trying to impress the in-laws with my new smoker. I offered to smoke a 8-10 lb turkey we got the other day. I'm planning on using my buddies brine recipe of canning salt, garlic, onions, bay leaves and apple. I don't know what temp or legnth of time I should use. How long should I brine for either? 12, 24, 48 hours in the brine in the fridge.
My buddy suggested under cooking the bird and just feeding my mother-in-law but I think killing her would really hinder christmas festivities and other joyous holidays.
I'm not too sure what wood to use either. I have some hickory and a little mesquet but I picked up some Jack Daniels smoke flavor pellets at the store.
What meat would Jack Daniels smoke pellets be best at?
Thanks,
Greg
