    Turkey thaw question

    Maybe the Food Network Live show actually listened to all of you.  Ann Burrell stated that it is perfectly fine to thaw out a frozen bird in brine,, just keep in fridge for 3 days or so :)

    How to attain TBS on a Masterbuilt 30 inch.

    Not sure which model you have ?  I have the very old model 30", analog,, no intake or exhaust .  The unit worked like a charm in cooler weather but here in Indiana, when it hit 90f+ outside I had issues.  I read and read and then read some more here on the forums.  There are too many variables...
