Probably one of the best videos on Yt explaining brining! Appreciate it!

@stanmullins9814 3 жыл бұрын

Been cooking meats on different types of smokers for years, and competed several times. This year is my first to brine a turkey we had for a late Thanksgiving with extended family. Great Brine instructions here. I'll don't intend to smoke any poultry without a similar brine again! Great tips here.
