Awesome! Can't wait to see some pictures.
I have two cooks from this past weekend that I need to get some pics up in here from. The brisket, in particular, was pretty amazing.

Great deal on a pellet smoker: $360. I think this deal is only good for today.

Do you soak the cheesecloth in butter before smoking or just baste the turkey as you go? I would like to baste but it is supposed to be a high of about 25 degrees on Thursday so I am trying to avoid opening the smoker often because the cold temp outside will not help me at all.
I always dry brine and turkey comes out flavorful and moist. I think it is much easier than a wet brine.

You have no idea
I usually baste the cheese cloth, I have always done dry brine in the past, trying something different since I loved the brining of the chickens so much

My family hates turkey lol, so I'm doing chicken on the traeger.
So far I've done chicken, burgers, and chicken wings. All were out of this world, very happy with the purchase. Going to smoke a pork belly for bacon on Sunday, looking forward to that!

The smoked turkey came out fantastic and was my best one yet of the 4 that I've done. The new smoker performed perfectly even though it was 20 degrees outside. Here's an hour and a half in, beautiful color
And rotated, I applied foil to the wings and legs to prevent burning.
And the finished product
I ended up injecting again, however I did a different method than my usual butter and wine. I simmered the butter with fresh garlic, rosemary, sage and thyme, and then injected the liquid after it cooled. I put the garlic and herbs that I strained out into the onion that was inserted into the cavity before cooking.
This by far was the juiciest and most flavorful turkey that I've made by far, the skin crisped up very nicely as well. It was a huge hit, even with people who didn't care for the smoked flavor last year.
