    Link to pics of yesterdays brined turkey breast

    I told a few yesterday I would post the pics of the sammiches I made from the solutioned breast, I brined yesterday. Rubbed it in a cajun rub cooked at 300 for about 2.5-3 hrs and let rest for 30 minutes. This was a tough day I lost my MES, but was able to smoke on my charbroil 4 burner gas...

    Is there a minimum time for brining......

    I did a turket breast today on my electric grill indirect with an aluminum foil pack and hickory. I brined for 5 hrs and it came out super tender and super flavorful. The bird was about 5 lbs, her is a link to the bird. It sat for about 30 minutes and still had a ton of juice. Seems to me if...

    Do I brine a turkey breast thats packaged in solution?

    Ok, I finished my smoke for the day thought I would post some of the results. For all the issues I had it came out really good. I have to say the brine made a difference I could really taste the lemon and herbs in there. For having to smoke on a gas grill indirect I think it came out pretty good...

    Do I brine a turkey breast thats packaged in solution?

    I can do that, but I have had a few setbacks. My MES just blew, went to about 128 and popped. Came back down to room temp, I have a Chargrilller, but its under 1' of snow. My Brinkman water smoker, quit last year.....damn it! SO..... the new plan is my Char Broil 4 burner gas grill with an...

    Do I brine a turkey breast thats packaged in solution?

    Yeh I usually try to buy meat that hasn't been "enhanced" but I was craving a cajun smoked turkey sandwich and at .99 a lb I couldn't resist. Sounds like it is what it is an maybe I can get some of the citrus flavor in my brine in the bird. Little disheartened now, but hopefully it will still...

    Do I brine a turkey breast thats packaged in solution?

    I purchased a 5lb breast in 15% solution, it was on sale. I am going to smoke it today but started brining it this morning. I was going to brine for 6-8 hours as its only 5lbs. Will it be too salty? I thought I read somewhere the solution they ship them in is already a brine is that true?

    Hen of the Woods Mushroom Recipe (Maitakes)

    we have always found them right at the base of old oaks....can be dead or alive doesn't seem to matter. But I am a believer in finding mushrooms of any type next to newly dead trees.

    Hen of the Woods Mushroom Recipe (Maitakes)

    Does anyone have a good recipe for HOTW mushrooms. My dad found about 3-4lb shroom on the back of an ole' oak tree. I would like to find some type of mushroom gravy recipe to put over toast or biscuit or even a steak. Any ideas?

    Hofbrauhaus, great place!

    I have been to the one in Newport several times. They have good food and on a Friday or Saturday night things can get pretty interesting in the beer hall section and the outdoor pavillion. If you catch the right crowd and employee's often they will recite some of the old German Beer drinking...

    Tough ribs :(

    your descriptive use of the canadian language and spelling. Not trying to make anybody mad just thought it was comical, sorry if I took it the wrong way.
