Decided to do a test run before Thanksgiving on a Turkey smoked in Bradley then finished off in SRG. On Saturday AM I mixed up the brine and brined the fresh Turkey for 16 hours. Then removed the Turkey from the brine late Saturday night and rinsed off all the brine and made sure and patted dry. Then injected the bird with John Henrys Turkey Injection and rubbed with Rub with Love Turkey Rub and put back into the refrigerator until time to cook. On Sunday I took out the Turkey about 1 1/2 hours prior to cook time and preheated the smoker as well.
I put the bird in the smoker at 250 for 3 hours with Pecan and Cherry. The IT in the breast was 113. Here is the bird after 3 hours of smoke.
Then I put in the preheated SRG until a IT of 165 in the breast and that took about 1 hour and ten minutes. Here is the bird:
The Turkey was very good and nice and moist.
