I've pulled my 6.5 lb bone in turkey breast from a five hour brine, using the Slaughterhouse brine recipe. I've dried it off, and I'm going to rub it with oil and then season with a storebought rub. I'll keep it in the fridge overnight, and I'm going to smoke it tomorrow in my MES 40.

Here's another question for you experts....from what I've read, I should only brine the leg quarters and chicken breasts for about 1-2 hours. Would it be safe if I took the turkey breast out of the brine after 5 hours, and then put the chicken parts into the same brine for a couple of hours? Or...

So....should I just rub oil and...
Hi - I smoked my first legs and quarters yesterday. I was going to brine them, but Saturday was so hectic that I ran out of time. So...I just rubbed them with canola oil, sprinkled them with Salt Lick barbecue rub (on top of and under the skin) and left them in the fridge overnight. Then I put...
Hi - I'm a newbie and I'm about to use my MES 40 smoker for the 2nd time. (First time was ribs and brisket, with a lot of help from you folks.) I want to smoke some chicken leg quarters and some turkey legs tomorrow. I was planning to brine them overnight, then dry them and let them sit in the...
I was going by the temp on the MES digital display. I think I better get an oven thermometer so I can check the accuracy of my temp gage. Thanks for that tip!
And yep, I put some apple juice in with the brisket when I wrapped it in foil, but not very much. Maybe I'll put more in next time...
