this is the one! and im glad you added the info about the baste, b/c that would have been my next question. looks like i have a little shoppin to do seasoning wise. also gotta pick up a t-baster. at 250, a 2lb turkey will take aprox 10 hours (30 min per lb) and i thankfully have a remote thermometer to monitor temp. i really hope it doesnt take less than 8 hours because it would over cook while im at work. i could get wifey to turn it off it goes over desired internal temp. this is quite the laborous process, but i am excited. cant take this long from fridge to plate without being superior! i will only have one time to go home to check on it during my lunchbreak, possibly refil the wood chips and water pan. i was thinking 2/3 large hickory chiunks and 1/3 small applewood chips (all i have) presoaked.
this is so elaborate! maybe i could snap some pics and pm them to ya?
Okay this one is a bit crazier...

1/4 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons dried thyme (preferably ground)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground white pepper
2 teaspoons ground dried sage leaves
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

mix it all up in something you can shake it with so that way you can ensure it is mixed well. Pull the skin and rub under the skin. Don't use all of it or if you due just make up a smaller batch to use for the baste with this one. For the baste take 1/2 cup butter and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, melt the butter add the lemon juice and add some of the rub to it and then use it to baste the turky each half hour for the last two hours you smoke it.

The Clock Barrens, Fillory
4 quarts water
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup sea salt
8-10 whole cloves garlic, peeled
6-8 whole bay leaves
3 large sprigs of thyme
2 teaspoons whole peppercorns

Place 2 quarts of water and other ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, dissolving sugar and maple syrup. Remove from heat, add remaining 2 quarts and allow brine to cool completely before using. (you can use ice to do this and it will help keep the brine where you want it for the turkey temp wise.)

Chit Chat

I have to stop skimming the thread. I thought you guys were posting e-liquid recipes.

Let me know what you think, did it have a strong plastic smell to the bag? Mine did and it only got worse when I went to vape it, gave me a horrid headache too, if you like it might have a great deal for you in the makings if you want a good amount more lol.

3) I got an e-liquid order from Mt. Baker Vapor, but put it up to steep without really looking at it. I did today...it has "Nutrition Facts" on the label. :laugh:

Those will work wonderfully for it. In fact are what I would suggest hickory or apple or a mix of the two. What temp are you looking to smoke it at? Personally Id go with 250 at 25 minutes a pound or right around 8 and a half hours for a 20 pound turkey. So with this in mind, in may be better to run home at lunch and start it then. If possible make it so when you get home from work it has about 3 hours left cooking time. This way you can do the basting and watch the final portion cooking wise.

Normally I only use water in the pan. As for the cavity make sure you put the rub in there as well and a quartered apple will work great for it. If you want to add a little twist to it also throw in some lemon or orange. One or the other with the apple and both are great. Also remember try and put the fatty section towards the top, reason is that way the juices drain back down through the turkey.
