I brined our turkey then smoked it for last year’s Thanksgiving. I was VERY worried about ruining the “main” part of thanksgiving! But it turned out FANTASTIC! We are planning on brining and smoking TWO this year on our new Chargrill smoker.
I agree with Christopher– brining for the first time can be very frightening– what if it turns out awful?? Answer: It wont!!! Im a lifelong convert, and cant believe that we hadn’t been brining all along– turkey turns out moist and so flavorful– don’t be scared– give it a shot and I promise you’ll never think of putting an un-brined turkey in your oven again!
I tried brining a chicken first. A small whole fryer in much cheaper and wont break the bank if you dont like it. I am trying it for my turkey this week. The Chicken was so moist and flavorful. Cant wait to try the turkey
