    Need help with my thanksgiving turkey

    You can never go wrong with brining. But if you inject, brining is not really needed to get a juicy bird. There's many brining recipes but a simple salt, sugar and apple juice is hard to beat. 12hours (overnight) is plenty long enough I believe. Personally, considering your plan, I would brine...

    Turkey....HELP

    Barbecue taste and smell won't go away (was Burn Co.)

    Don't ask how or why I know this (you probably would not enjoy the story), but I bet the smell is in your nose. Rinse it out.

    Pulled pork two nights before

    I would use the smoker for sure! Your plan sounds good. Should not take long to reheat it. Add some apple juice or drippings for moisture.

    Freezing fresh fish before vacuum sealing

    That's the way we do it also. Zip lock bag, fully covered in water. Will keep forever!

    Reverse flow smoker using charcoal

    I wouldn't think it would damage 1/4" steel.
