  • Jeff said not to soak wood chips on smoking thanksgiving turkey. I am smoking 2 turkey roasts, hanging them, with maple wood. This is Jeff's recipe with bacon wrapped around roasts. Why was he adamant about not soaking the chips? I was going to soak in apple juice and use juice in water pan also. Can use apple juice in brine mix instead of water? Thank you.

    Welcome to SMF.
    Come into Roll Call and introduce yourself when you get the chance.
    Soaking wood chips causes them to steam instead of generating smoke. Don't use apple juice in the water pan since it won't add extra flavor. You can use 50/50 mix of water and apple juice for the brine. Straight apple juice will make the brine too sweet.
