So, whole turkey breast was on sale at ye ol' Publix. It was the biggest one I could find, 6.5#....I threw it in a brine over night of kosher salt, brown sugar, worsch, garlic cloves, and some standard dry herbs. Smoked it at 235 with 75% hickory, 25% cherry in my MES 30. It took about 4 hours. Although I was happy with the tenderness and texture, it was lacking smoke flavor. Seriously, barely any smoke flavor. I was happy with the amount of smoke I was getting out the the machine, so I don't get it. Any advice? I have another breast I'll be doing at soon and would like better flavor. Thanks!
