smoking turkey breast
Has anyone out there smoked just a turkey breast? Did you brine it and use a rub on it? How long did it take? I'm doing this for Mother's Day and will be in deep doo-doo if I don't get it right. Thanks for any help mgsteve -

Hello from the Pa. Dutch country
Man, those tips are GREAT!!!! Have you tried to seal the door on the side of the unit? It looks like you don't use the thermo. on the unit. Do you use a digital? Is that the probe in the picture? Thanks again Steve -
