    First Smoked Turkey

    Thanks for the thoughts. I originally was planning to do a 3 day brine, but then I saw an overwhelming amount of posts sounding like that would be too salty. I did think it was more flavorful day 2, though that could have just been me :) Next time I will try a longer brine and perhaps the injection

    Any advice for my first Pork Butt
