Burtess Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 While the wife does one in the oven (can't beat that traditional stuffing and gravy!!) I am doing one on the smoker. Preparation....the brine.... turkey sits in this for 12 hours.... consists of apple juice, brown sugar, kosher salt, crushed garlic, sliced ginger, cloves, bay leaves, quartered and squeezed oranges.... The turkey is on.... Thar she be chuggin' away..... I will keep the BBQ porn going as the cook progresses.... Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Looks great. What kind of wood you use? Does the orange even out over the smoke, seems like it may overpower the flavour of the turkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the orange even out over the smoke, seems like it may overpower the flavour of the turkey? I used a couple chunks of cherry..... You really don't taste the elements of the brine separately, it just had a really good flavour, lightly smoked, but VERY juicy... Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
