It has been almost three weeks since my last smoke and to top it off I have been having problems with a particular family mater I have vented about on here before.  So what is the easiest way to make things feel much better.  Yard-Bird!!

It has been a while since I did a play by play I usually just post all the pics at the end.

Well you started off right..........Brining'
 
Ok, now this looks very interesting to me. I have never brined any type of meat. So dont leave out any details!! 


OK this is the Brine I use on BBQ chicken.  I like it because it gives the meat a sweet taste without bbq sauce. 

1 Gallon Water

1/3 cup kosher salt

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 TBS Tony Chachery's

1 tsp cumin

4 cloves of Garlic

2 bay leaves
 
I soak for at least 6 hours I like 8-12 hours the best. 

Here are my Birds all dressed up and ready to party...

This is gonna be more of a grill than a smoke I am thinking 425 for 60 minutes.....
 
There you go...nice. I have one in the brine right now been in there 18 hours....going into the smoker in the morning....Love smoked brined injected yardbird...
 
Looks like a successful way to make you feel better. Very nice.
 
Picked up my birds today. I got a question for u on starting this brine process. Should I poke these birds with a ice pick or just soak them untouched overnight?
