Test turkey in the brine!

[nicka]

I am smoking my first turkey this year, figured I would make a rest run this weekend! Purchased a new Camp Chef smoke vault and can't wait! My question is that the brine soliton does not fully cover bird, I used the slaughter house brine. Should I just rotate every so often or add more water? Thanks!!

Add a little more water. Also fill a ziplock bag with water and put it on top of the bird to hold it down.

Happy smoken.

Thanks mule! The ziplock bag worked like a charm. She's 4 hours in so far
