    Do I need to brine a frozen turkey that contains a brine solution

    We use unscented trash bags to brine our turkeys in, one trash bag inside the other and put the whole thing in a cooler and cover with ice a day or two before I smoke it

    Do I need to brine a frozen turkey that contains a brine solution

    We brine our turkey every year, most turkeys have some sort of salt brine in them. So we look for the ones thag have lowest salt content.

    Wooden cutting boards

    I have a nice thick wooden cutting live edge cutting board that is in need of a good oil. Ive heard mixed things about mineral oil and depending on what you read its either terrible for you or not as bad as its being claimed. What do you fellas/fellaettes use for your boards?

    Gibson SG Pics for Forktender (And anyone else who loves vintage Gibson guitars)

    Beautiful collection of SGs, of all the Gibsons, I like the SGs neck the best. Its not paper thin like some of the Ibanez had but not a baseball bat neck either.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Yep evem made a thread about it. 1.5 hrs was too long, started out nicely but as the ice melted became overpowering. So Ive started mixing the smoked and reg ice for now, 2 reg and 1 smoked cube does the trick until I make more ice.

    Smoked ice

    Hour and a half was way too long, starts out nice but then got really strong as the ice melted. I did try 2 reg ice cubes and a single smoked cube last nite, that def helped mellow the flavor a bit. I stored the ice cubes in a ziplock bag and you def get the smell when you open the bag to get...
