    Turkey brine

    Well it worked. The smoked turkey was the best one I've ever done. The fried turkey sat in the brine an extra 9 hours or so, and it was the best fried turkey I've ever done. There was still plenty of ice in each bucket, and the coolers were still totally full of ice. When I put the turkey on...

    Turkey brine

    I put another cup of kosher salt, another cup of dark brown sugar, and another tablespoon of Jeff's rub in each one. That way it won't be too watery as the ice melts. It will stay they easy for the remaining 17 or 18 hours till I smoke the one, and 24 to 30 hours til I fry the other.

    Turkey brine

    I swear I have to re-learn brining every time I do it and I never fully understand it. For Thanksgiving I brined 2 turkeys, both 12 pounders, and both following Jeff's smoked maple turkey recipe. I smoked one, and fried the other one. They were both probably the best turkeys I've ever done...

    Beer Can Turkey?

    Cool, I bought a 24 ounce tall boy, and one of these, same exact one: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/products/brinkmann-steel-vertical-chicken-roaster My bird is a 12 pounder. I think I'll drink half that beer, and then fill the rest of the can with the maple bbq sauce from Jeff's recipe...

    Beer Can Turkey?

    Also, do you try to seal the turkey up? In this video: He has the legs and wings tied tight to the torso, with the beer can pretty well sealed, and an onion plugging the neck cavity. But in this video: He leaves the legs and wings loose, and doesn't seal it up. Man I hope I don't...

    Beer Can Turkey?

    Never done a beer can chicken or turkey, but I see a lot of people say the chicken is great. Think I'll try my hand at it for the Thanksgiving turkey. When you do this beer can thing, do you punch a hole in the bottom of the can or cut the can in any way? Or do you leave the beer in the can...

    Minutes per pound??

    Same question. I saw a link to a chart the other day but I can't find it now. I'm thinking I'll probably be around 220 degrees and my bird is 12 pounds.

    Frying a turkey. Should I brine?

    I'm going to smoke a 12 pounder. That's probably too small. I got another 12 pounder so with both of them combined, I should have enough bird to go around for Thanksgiving. I'm going to smoke one of them, and deep fry the other. The one I'm smoking is already in the brine. I'm thinking I'll...

    I'm probably going to go with baby backs. Not sure what I'll be able to find at the store after work with tomorrow bent the 4th, but I'd rather do baby backs if I can find them.

    I've done ribs, but only a couple times and it's been a while.

    Brisket? Help me out guys.

    I doubt think I could keep my smoker at 325 for 6 hours. Maybe 275 tops. Of course in this heatwave we've been having around here it might be doable, lol. Thanks for the tips!
