We start by teaching you how to brine a turkey to add some extra moisture and create a buffer for your cook. We'll also show you how we inject the turkey with extra flavor before getting it out on the smoker as well as the two stage rub that we use to give the bird a fantastic flavor.

Smoking a turkey has resulted in us having turkey much more often for dinner, and it's the only way that we'll make the main dish for Thanksgiving.

We hope that you'll give smoked turkey a try.
