Took a deep breath and went for broke yesterday by using the apple brine recipe on this forum. Wow....
My first cook on the smoky mountain and I need not have worried.

The recipe was very simple with very clear instructions and the smoky mountain ran very smoothly right out of the box. Temps were easy to manage, holding around 150 Celsius with little problem.

Result was a fabulous, very even cook with tremendous flavour and texture. Sometimes you create an instant tradition and this was one of those times.....I also did a very traditional Turkey which, although good was a distant second.

Festive greetings all. Happy smoking for the season and into 2015 :)
 
Great Work!!! I LOVED smoked turkey and am inspired to do the apple brine now for new years day

Great to hear that. I was using a 4 kilo Turkey so pretty much halved the standard recipe but all went well. Hope the New Year smoke goes well for you. I don't think I'd change anything from the standard recipe and I'm still amazed at the picture book results. Beautiful even bronze finish and a lovely moist texture. I'm getting hungry just remembering it!
