We are doing Thanksgiving again today because it was so much fun last week...and it's my birthday so I can do whatever I feel like doing![p]I'm going to try AB's honey smoked turkey that he does on the grill. He calls for the bird to be cooked indirect at 400 with the bird on the grid.[p]Anybody think it's a better idea to put her in a roasting pan?[p]Happy Saterday.

    BlueRidge,[p]WOW! I can't believe all the eggers doing Turkey today! Doing a Mad Max. Did one last Saturday and the kids ate it all! Only got 1 meal for myself! (Thanksgiving bird was done by my mother-in-laws and let's just say THANK GOODNESS FOR GRAVY!) On Saturday the kids said "This is WAY better than Grandma's!" Going to change up the gravy and skip the wine this time. (I liked it but kids were not used to the taste.) Other than that, 100% Mad Max BUT I brined. Started brining when I bought my egg and can't believe the difference! Won't do whole poultry without it!

    EGGTASTIC!,
    What type of brine do you like to use? How long do you brine? Is it based on the weight of the poltury? I have a chicken I was going to do tonight. Good luck with your bird!

    BlueRidge,
    Those of you who have English spouses like I do, (doesn't everyone?) will understand that there is probably one more turkey in your future for the year at Christmas.... Mad Max's web page will return! (well, it's still there, just not on the front page, lol)[p]TNW

    Susan Egglaine,[p]The one I like the best is the one listed in Brant's Brined Beer-Butt Bird. (In the forum recipe section) When I do a Turkey I do not use the red wine vinegar. I let it brine for 12 hours. If I have a whole chicken, I do it exactly as the recipe states. It is FANTASTIC! I usually do 2 7-8 lb chickens at a time and I brine them at the same time. I make one batch of the brine and finish with water until the chicken's are covered. When I do my turkey, I do not use the vinegar and I fill the container with water until the turkey is covered. I refrigerate it for 12 hours. Real sweet/honey taste. Kids and wife love it!
