    Re: Brine a turkey for Christmas!

    I've never brined one yet. But I've only ever cooked a turkey on my bbq rotisserie and they have all been moist. Do you think a brine would make a difference for a bbq rotisserie method ? The only downside to this method is that there are next to zero drippings to be used for gravy. merry christmas folks

    Re: Brine a turkey for Christmas!

    Since I saw this post a few years ago, I have always brined my turkeys.

    This year, I smoked a turkey (well most of it) for my wee mum, using my Weber charcoal grill. I do a lot of work with my Weber (ribs, chicken, pulled pork), but this turkey (well, parts of it) turned out better than anything I have ever made on this grill. May have to look at doing two batches next year to smoke the entire bird.

    As always, thanks Gates for steering me in the right direction.

    Turkey was moist as expected.
    It was a 14lb bird. Probably should have cut the time at 250F down to 1.5 hrs so the breast side had more time to brown at 400F. Breast was up to temp before the skin got to the desired crispness.


    Turkey is always a pile of work and so busy near the end.
    Probably go back to a nice rib roast for special occasions. Those leftovers don’t last for 4 days like turkey does. Lol

    Brined a 16 pounder 24 hours for dinner tonight. I’ve done 4 or 5 turkeys this way but this was the best one yet. Fresh organic turkey beats the frozen ones hands down.
