Did you brine or rub it at all?

 

[tbperk]

I didn't brine it, I usually do brine but this was a last minute decision and I only had time to dry rub and put in the fridge over night.

Welcome , Perk. Good looking Breast , you shouldn't have a problem , good color.  I don't feel Brining is that important , with todays processing , they have enough coming from the processor. Fresh killed might need some. having said that , a log of your cooks might help you in deciding if you like a brined Bird or not. 

Have fun and . . .

I'm going to do my first turkey this weekend...question: do you use a water pan when smoking a turkey?

That is some nice color. I did one and it turned black.

I'm thinking of doing one this weekend.

Can I get some additional details? Rub, wood etc.

I'm smoking on a modified brinkmann ecb charcoal smoker.
