Doing 65 smoked turkeys tomorrow night. Brined for 24 hours in 1:1 salt/sugar in 1 gallon of water. Usually 2 gallons per 20 pound bird. Starting at 10 pm. Should be done by 8 am.
I argued against brining since the birds were packed in a 8% salt solution already but did it to please the higher ups after years past when they bought unpacked birds and turkeys came out dry...
I hope to see lots of beautiful smoke rings on Thursday! I will try to snag some pictures of the smoker full (I can do about 25 at a time) but love seeing every one else's rigs and birds.
Would love to see pics of that.
One of our sides was made by the stepdaughter. She fried up bacon ends, added onions, then green beans and crushed tomatoes. Very goodMike, that is awesome and very close to what we ate. At our house the green beans with bacon was a huge hit.
