Well, a great day for being outside, sunny and a mere 30*degrees,

Brined the birds on Friday until this morning.
1/2 cup Morton kosher salt
1/2 cup lt brown sugar
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp jeff's rub
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
8 cups water
1/2 cup red wine vinegar

A simple, effective brine without it being over salty. I like to taste the smoke, along with the rub&finishing glaze.

5 birds removed from brine, allow to dry a good 1/2 hour. Hit it with a dusting of rub.. While the fire calms down.

Birds just under 5 lbs each on at 2pm- out by 6.30pm internal temp 165-170* degrees. Used pecan wood and hickory,glazed with butter & maple syrup. Lol!! Tasty, not over smoked like I did the last time .. Chow time~

Now your birds looks fabulous but all that white stuff around the your smoker doesn't look very inviting at all.
