The 6th circle
here is the problem. the turkey is frozen. its in the fridge but still an ice cube. i need to defrost it before 5pm (in a 4hours or less by the time i get home) so that i can place it in a brine for an overnight soak and put it in the smoker early morning tmw.
a co-worker suggested putting it in a mild temp water bath in the sink for a few hours. is this my only course of action?

LD... Do NOT let that bird sit in warm/warmish water!!!!!!!
If you want a quick defrost... Put it in the largest vessel you have, that fits in the sink and continuously run the coldest water your tap will produce!
The convection currents of the running water will defrost that bird faster than anything else, while keeping it as cold as possible. If it's not 100% defrosted, it will be close enough for the brine to finish the job.

I don't feel well either, and might also be coming down with something. Sweating a lot while sleeping, and woke up completely dehydrated. Since then, I've had tons of water to drink and I feel just a little better. Reading the symptoms described in the posts of others makes me feel lucky in comparison. Commiserate much?

I received an order from WL today, my second batch of TFA flavorings. I was hoping to add some Jamaican Rum flavor to my Island tobacco, pineapple, coconut mix... but I can't find any suggestions on percentage. It smells very strong, so I only added 1ml to a 30ml mix. I can barely tell that it's in there, which might be a good thing, not sure yet. It looks like I have a lot of reading to do. I got spoiled using super concentrates, it was almost always 2.5-3%.

Noooo.... you can't improve the island tobacco flavor after I bought flavorings for your recipe last night LOL.
That is going to be my ADV Schnarph! I can't tell you how thankful I am. It's folks like you that make ECF an awesome community!

Apologies. If it makes you feel any better, the original recipe is PG free. Using Jamaican Rum flavoring adds PG to the mix.

I added another ml of the Rum to my mix, and I still can't tell that it's there. Sure, it needs steeping... but at ~7% you'd think it would be noticeable.
