Rascal,
I did not brine mine. From the reviews I got from the family I don't think it could have been better. Most said it was the best they had eaten. I ran out of lump just a little to soon, I think the thighs could have cooked a tad more. Filled lump to top of firering and it was all I had so I couldn't add more. It only cooked 4.5 hours so this really suprised me. Before I put the turkey in I let it get to 500 deg before I realized it so that may have used my lump even though it was only for a few minutes.
The gravy was out of this world. I did not add the wine to the gravy (did put it on the turkey) and instead of butter I used the fat from the dripping pan mmmmm, not healthy but man was it good.
MAX IS THE MAN Thanks again for the great advise.
My son-in-law is a chef and had to work yesterday so tonight I am cooking a Rib Roast. How else but the Mad Max way. Can't wait to taste it. Hope everyone enjoys turkey sandwichs lol.
Donnie
