Hello Everyone!
I plan on smoking some turkey legs this weekend. I see there are quite a few brine recipes on here and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to do. The question I have is this; When I brine the legs, do I need to perforate the legs for them to better absorb the brine or do I just put them in and let them soak?
Also, is there any need to put a water pan in with the legs? I haven't seen anyone mention it so I'm guessing not, but I don't want them to end up dry.
Thanks for any input!
