:) nice looking bird
I've always enjoyed my "apple" brine for my turkeys before hot smoking
cup kosher salt
cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
quart of apple cider / juice
couple tablespoons cracked black pepper
I just got a chance to cut it up and it was excellent.

Thanks for sharing, that sounds really good. :)
Great job on the turkey smoke Bear's Fan!

Bears fan,
How big was the bird & how long-what temp did you cook at?
Really a nice lookin bird, I just know it tasted real good....
13# turkey. It was fully cured for a week in the brine so I started smoking at 130 degrees and worked my way up to 180 degrees. It took me nearly 24 hours to finish it off which I know it sounds like an awful long time because it was cooked at a much lower temp then you normally cook poultry; however, with it be fully cured in the brine it was not a big of a deal. It came out very moist this way.
