Let's see some PRON my Brethren!
 
Turkey came out REALLY good. well worth the brining. It actually got done earlier then I expected since max smoker temp was 260. I was able to hold it in a cooler and took it to my sisters. It remained moist and tender even after slicing and laying on platter. Had a mild smoke flavor (cherry and apple). I iced the breast with the thought that with breast cooler the thighs and breast would get done at same time and they pretty much did. I also soaked some cheesecloth in a mixture of butter, white wine and some rosemary and layed it over the top. I basted it again about every hour or so, removing the cheesecloth for the last hour.

dressing was a "bacon /apple" that i got from home cuisine magazine. pretty much like this one but instead of 2 cups of onions , I used 1 cup celery and 1 cup onion. http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/rec...uff75732.shtml. I also through in a little bob evans maple flavored smoked fatty for good measure.

Here's mine using the dry-salt brine recommended by leanza.. rubbed with Dizzy Shakin' The Tree and Tsunami Spin with olive oil soaked cheesecloth with fresh rosemary and tyme.

Cooked on XL BGE at 325 degrees.

Probably the best turkey I have made yet. I highly recommend the dry salt brine.

I didn't get to :mad::mad:, uncle did all the turkey cooking, and used that "big easy" propane fueled indirect cooker, I have to say it was very good.

I bought a turkey to smoke next week :icon_clown:icon_clown
 
Those all look good. The in-laws cooked yesterday, and my turkey is in the brine as I type. Tomorrow morning the bird goes in the egg for a lunchtime dinner. :cool: Then I'll post proof pics. :wink:
