Brined a 15LB bird or 36 hours. Injected with lemon garlic butter. Placed ice packs on breast for 30 minutes. Plate setter in with the bird in a v-rack and foil pan. 350 degrees until breast hit 160.. Used a small piece of pecan wood for just a little smoke.. Foil tent after an hour on top half.

Looks good! You will need to clean that plate setter so you don't get flavors you didn't plan on.Marietta, East Cobb, GA

Turned out amazing.. Just at 2.5 hours.. I would not do the lemon garlic injection next time.. Gave it moisture but a little powerful Tate..
-
I would also not brine next bird I cook. Ruins the drippings / gravy.. Too salty..

15 pound bird brined at 5-6% salt should be pulled out at 24-30 hours. Make sure you rinse thoroughly (I fill up a tub of fresh water and work it through the skin, inside and out) - there's a lot of salt on the surface. Don't inject if you brine, if you insist, NO salt in the injection fluid. The amount of salt in the drippings should be minimal.
