What the fark! Only enhanced birds, 4 different supermarkets. Nothing. Local turkey farmer wants $4lb and he cant get me the bird til weds. Birds goin in the brine tomorrow night either way. I got the lowest one i could find, 6% of some mystery solution of salt, flavoring and spices, whatever that means. Anybody gonna try and talk me outta this, i was thinking just going with a lower overall salt content in the brine, more just to pump up the flavors and add a little more juiceness(def not a word).
Def gonna do 20 minutes of ice on the breast before it goes in the smoker thou, worked like a charm last year.
Finally one last question, did it in the performer with the rotis ring last year and made everyone very happy, Dual sided fire brick mod. Was thinking about using the hanger from my turkey fryer and letting her hang in the pro-q with a nice pan of white wine and veggies underneath it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
