Hey all. This Thanksgiving I may get the chance to smoke a turkey. My misses wants to just plain cook one cause she thinks it'd be easier but I'm tryin to talk her into letting me smoke it. I did a pretty dern good job with some pork ribs a month ago but that was pork and not a bird. So, to begin, these are the things I have to smoke:
A smoker (obviously)
Hickory chunks
A meat thermometer
A few days off for the holiday.
This is what id like knowledge of:
A good rub/brine that isn't spicey or overly salty, perhaps even a little sweet
How long should I smoke it and at what temp?
What temp do I want it to be when its done?
I'm not sure how heavy the bird will be or if it will be stuffed while cookin. Any help is appriciated!
