10 lb wild turkey

Brined for 48 hours in a mix of:

5 qts water
1 1/4 cups kosher salt
1 cup maple syrup
1 onion sliced
9 peppercorns
4 bay leaves
4 strips of lemon peel

Skin was loosened and sprinkled with CS poultry rub

Covered with butter soaked cheesecloth

Smoked for 5 hours with one piece of applewood (door never opened until the end)

1 hour at 250
then 225
last 45 minutes back at 250 (only for serving convenience)

It was great.

The only thing I would do differently in the future would be to skip the rub for the Thanksgiving meal.
