Got up at 6:00am and followed the basic recipie for first time users....
Held temp at about 340 for 2.75 hours.
Looks great and tastes fantastic!




First one...

12 lbe butterball with 8% solution.

Can/Do you still brine a bird with the solution? I would use the apple brine if so...and if I can find it...
Or, I'll just rub it with some love....

I will be using the whole turkey self basting link on this forum and following the directions.

Thanks

An enhanced bird is basically already 'brined'.....you can still brine/marinate if you like, but the effects will not be the same because the bird is already full of additional liquid....in otherwords, you're 'soaking' the turkey, vs. brining.

Here's a link to how I do both a brined turkey and an enhanced breast. I like to keep them both simple...hope this helps!

Thanks Larry...your quick help, again, has made me ready to go. I'll give it a little wash, rub it with some love, and smoke it up this Sat or Sun...

Obligatory pictures to follow...thanks again.

That turned out great Grant!!!!

NICE!!!!

Well done!
