@Doc Mguerra:

Hey, Doc. I am trying my first brined turkey. I have brined it and it is resting in the fridge prior to cooking tomorrow afternoon. You have brined often. Is the brine process the only seasoning that the bird receives? When the bird is being cooked, is any seasoning added after it has been brined and rested/air dried? Do you put any spice on the bird, or do you just pop it in the OTB? Have a blessed and safe holiday. Anton

Any ideas how to get these birds into my car?

Pas, I just put it in the KK sans anything. But there are so many ways to do it. Some folks lift up the skin and put butter, herbs, rubs and so on under there. Others coat on a rub on the skin. The neat thing is you can do it as often as you like and try different tricks. On chicken I like to lift up the skin and put rosemary, garlic and butter...

Cool photo Syz! We have a flock that hangs around, but have not had any "volunteers".

Thanks, Doc. Merry Christmas!

My only ideas involve a firearm or archery......both highly recommended!

I got my 4 rebuilt Stoker probes back from Rock's a few days before Christmas but I am just getting the charge on my credit card now. It's definitely a bargain to send him the fried probes rather than just buy new ones. He charged me $80.00 including shipping to rebuild 3 temp probes and 1 pit probe, all of which look brand new in all respects, as opposed to $140.00 plus shipping for 4 new probes. So, if you fry them, don't toss them!!!

Thanks for the tip Susan, I just sent a fried probe back for rebuild.
