Steps:
- Combine the hot water and the salt in a 54-quart cooler. Stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the vegetable broth and the honey. Add the ice and stir. Place the turkey in the brine, breast side up, and cover with cooler lid.. Brine overnight, up to 12 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the brine and dry thoroughly. Rub the bird thoroughly with the vegetable oil.
- Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
- Using a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil, build a smoke bomb. Place a cup of hickory wood chips in the center of the foil and gather up the edges, making a small pouch. Leave the pouch open at the top. Set this directly on the charcoal or on the metal bar over the gas flame. Set the turkey over indirect heat, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the breast meat, and set the alarm for 160 degrees F. Close the lid and cook for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour check the bird; if the skin is golden brown, cover with aluminum foil and continue cooking. Also, after 1 hour, replace wood chips with second cup.
- Once the bird reaches 160 degrees F, remove from grill, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 1 hour. Carve and serve.
OUT OF THIS WORLD TURKEY BRINE
Best brine for smoked turkey around. This recipe was given to me by my uncle. He is always smoking meat. EDITOR'S NOTE: This recipe uses canning or kosher salt, not table salt. Using table salt in this amount will make the brine too salty.

SMOKED TURKEY BRINE
Steps:
- Cool the brine: Add 1/2 gallon (9 1/2 cups) of cold water to the hot brine to help it cool down faster. You can also replace the water with ice to help it cool even faster. Cool the brine to room temperature. Then refrigerate it until chilled.
- Prepare for drying: Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Remove turkey from brine: Remove the turkey from the brine and place it on the prepared baking sheet. With a paper towel, remove any residual salt and brine ingredients from the turkey. Pat the turkey dry.
- Dry the turkey: Transfer it to the refrigerator, uncovered, and let it air dry for 24 hours. This will help crisp up the skin when you cook the turkey.
- Cook the turkey: Once a turkey has been brined and air dried you can follow whichever cooking method you prefer to either roast, smoke, or fry the turkey.

Steps:
- Skin the garlic cloves and use a knife to crush each clove.
- In the clean 5-gallon pail, add all the brine ingredients together and mix well with a large wooden spoon.
- Clean your turkey and make sure the giblets are removed.
- Submerge the turkey in the pail of brine. Do your best to make sure the turkey is completely submerged.
- Store in your refrigerator for 48 hours, turning the turkey 180 degrees after the first 24 hours.
- After the 48 hour brine is complete. Remove your turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry with paper towel and store in the fridge for 1 hour. The brine process is complete.
- Mix all the rub ingredients together and set aside for later.
- Fire up your smoker to 300F.
- Take your brined turkey out of the fridge and prep it for the smoker. Move the wings behind the body of the Turkey as shown.
- Tie the legs together with butcher twine.
- Apply the turkey rub liberally to the entire turkey. Then lightly brush some of the peanut oil over the entire turkey.
- Once the smoker hits 300F, place your turkey in the smoker and attach your meat probe into the breast of the turkey.
- After the first 1.5hrs, I'll check in on the turkey and see how it looks. I'll baste it with melted butter now and then. I'll sometimes spritz the turkey with a 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar as well. It helps attract the smoke to the skin.
- Once the Turkey reaches about 160F, I will remove it and quickly wrap in foil. The Turkey will keep climbing in temperature and reach the 165F while it is covered in foil. Let the turkey rest a minimum of 20 minutes under the foil. The longer it rests, the better.
- You are done and ready to carve the turkey. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Mix hot water and kosher salt in a 54-quart cooler, stirring until the salt dissolves. Mix in vegetable broth, honey, and orange juice. Pour in the ice cubes, place the turkey into the brine with breast side up, and close the cooler lid. Place the cooler in a cold place and let the turkey marinate overnight or up to 12 hours. Brine temperature must stay colder than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C).
- Remove turkey from brine, discard brine, and dry the turkey thoroughly with paper towels. Mix vegetable oil with poultry seasoning in a bowl, and rub the turkey with the mixture. Place apple, celery, onion, and orange pieces into the cavity of the turkey.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for indirect heat and lightly oil the grate. Build a 'smoke bomb' by placing about 1 cup of hickory or cherry wood chips into the middle of a 12x12-inch doubled piece of aluminum foil. Gather up the edges of the foil to make a pouch and leave the pouch open at the top. Set the smoke bomb directly onto the coals if grilling with charcoal, or onto the flame bar of a gas grill.
- Set the turkey onto the grill in position for indirect heat, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast, not touching a bone, and close the grill. Set the probe thermometer for 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Grill turkey for 1 hour and check the bird; if skin is already golden brown, cover the breast, legs, and wings with aluminum foil. Replace the smoke bomb with a new one; close cover and continue to grill until probe thermometer registers 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 to 3 more hours. Remove the fruit and vegetable pieces from the cavity, cover turkey with aluminum foil, and let rest for 1 hour before carving.
