You don't know what you are doing!!!!
Just kidding you.
I like to brine my birds as well but have lately changed to a different method. My lovely wife said to me one day "how can you get more of that delicious rub taste on to the actual meat (we don't eat the skin of the smoked birds)" Well that got me to thinking......so I made a compound butter with my rub and pushed it under the skin (of the breast). Smoked as per usual and damn if that bird wasn't the best I have had. The butter basted the bird all though the smoke and the taste of the meat was rubTASTIC. Very moist as well.
Not the only option but for us here at Casa PadronMan it's the go to way to smoke some bird!!!
