    Smoking a turkey for the first time

    Thanks for the info. Should I use equal parts salt and sugar, or cut back on the salt. High blood pressure is a factor and I don't want it too salty for taste. Also, is 12 hours long enough for a 13# turkey to brine?

    Smoking a turkey for the first time

    Cooking a turkey for the first time. My question: do I have to brine the turkey or can I just smoke it as it is? The family is not big on flavors for the turkey, just want the original smoked taste.

    smoking a variety of meat including a small brisket

    Thank you for the information. It's very helpful. BTW, it is a flat. I read that some people pull it off after about 3 hours and wrap it in foil for the remainder of cooking time to keep it moist. Is this necessary?

    smoking a variety of meat including a small brisket

    Not sure where to post this, but I have a question. I am new to smoking and have a 5 lb. brisket that I am smoking at 235 degrees. How long do I smoke it? I have two hours into it so far.
