    Using cast iron on a glass stove top?????

    Has anyone had a problem using CI on a glass stove top? I've heard that the top may crack, is that from being dropped or the glass not being able to handle the heat with the weight on it? I have an enamel Dutch Oven that I use and absolutely love, but would like to use my old CI skillet. Thanks

    When to inject?

    I've read a lot here about brining and injecting. I've read some that say inject after brining, just before smoking and some seem to inject just before brining. I have a turkey in brine now and I'm smoking it tomorrow when friends come over. What seems to work the best for you? Thanks Shinny
