And a Happy Turkey day back at you and all!!
My wife (She Who Must Be Obeyed) and I are spending the day with friends that I fixed some of Tim's Atomic Buffalo Turds for, a couple of weeks ago. By popular demand, we're taking a whole tray full this time.

Did anyone else deep fry their Turkey this year?
That's the only good way to cook them that I've found. Done in 45 minutes, and it's nice and moist, not greasy, and never dry.
I think I'm going to have some left over pumpkin pie for breakfast !

Happy day after Thanksgiving I brined two turkeys and smoked them this was my first attempt , they come out moist and delicious but the time factor was well over the 45 min. deep fry method gonna try that next year.It took about 10 hours in the smoker and 12 in the brine. And yes I too had pumpkin pie for breakfsst!

Paul,
What all did you add to your brine?
The only constants to my brines, are water, salt, and lots of garlic. Everything else just gets added on a whim.
I'm going to be smoking 20-25 drumsticks a week from Tuesday.
Planning on using Mesquite charcoal with a few pieces of Hickory Firewood.

Tim I used salt , sugar , tarragon and apple juice after 12 hours in the brine I injected them with butter and GARLIC. Smoked them with mesquite and added apple juice and oranges in the water pan.

I don't know if I have ever tried sugar in the brine, how did that turn out? What kind of sugar did you use? I use a lot of cane and raw sugars in my rubs and sauces.
Have you ever filled the water pan with beer? I don't often use a water pan, but when I do, it' more of a drip pan, and for ribs or brats, a few bottles of strong dark beer make for some great steam.
