Brine was kosher salt, white sugar, garlic, onion and some peppercorns. The wet rub was pretty much the same just no sugar and some paprika. This morning i inject each with some butter and chicken broth. Smoker temp has been steady between 230-240. Using apple with a bit of hickory. Turkeys are looking good at around 3 hrs.
