I have the bird in some brine right now went with a modified version of the slaughterhouse.  I didn't have a cajun spice or celery salt so I improvised.  I but the bird in the brine at 8pm  and will pull it out about 10am

Slaughterhouse Brine:

1 1/2 Gal Water
1/2 C Salt
1/2 C Dark Brown Sugar
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp Cajun Spice       (Used pollo asada rub)
2 tsp Celery Salt        (Used cayenne pepper)

Gonna go to the store in the morning for apple cider and gonna inject the bird.

Slaughterhouse Injection:

1/2 Pkg Good Seasons Italian Dressing
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Celery seed
2 TBS melted Butter
2 C Apple Cider

Slaughterhouse Spritz:

8 oz Apple Cider
6 oz Water
4 oz Whiskey
2 oz Cider Vinegar

I hope to get a better result this time.  I've been doing lots of reading since im stuck at home with my fractured fibula.  My first smoke was a disaster.  OH I almost forgot I will be using Orange wood.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I was gonna try Billbo's world famous rub too.  Is this over doing it?  I didn't care fore Jeff's rub so I wanna try something else.

1/2 cup paprika
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated garlic
6 tablespoons granulated onion
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

I have a question about the Italian dressing. Do you make the dressing or just use the seasoning from the package? I made the dressing and then thought about that. So I'm on hold till I find out. Thanks
