I am going to do 2 turkeys on Thanksgiving. One will be smoked in my CS and the other done on a Weber Kettle. I plan on brining the one to be smoked, and I'm considering brining the one on the Weber. I'm wondering if the grilled turkey will benefit from the brining, and if so, should it spend the same amount of time (48 hours) in the brine.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks,
Matt

I started brining my oven roasted turkey about 2 years ago. It makes a big difference the turkey can benefit from the brining as it helps retain moisture. I typically brine for about 12 hrs then air dry the turkey in the fridge for 24 hours this provides a crisper skin.
