Pretty darn tasty for dead bird

I would luv to tell you it is some exotic recipe but it ain't
Very simple but it works.

I use a pot big enough to hold the bird, mix 1 cup Kosher salt to amount of water needed to cover bird, that's it. I don't usually add brown sugar to the brine but on this bird I threw in a hand full.
From my understanding brining helps in keeping the bird moist and gives the meat more flavor. You really don't even taste the salt but the salt really seems to enhance the overall flavor and do they ever come out moist. I probably would of brined this bird a couple hours longer but I didn't get started as early as I should have.
Use the same for Turkey only I'll brine it longer, up to 24 hours depending on the size of the bird. A 18 to 20 pound bird fits perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket, takes 2 gallons of brine to cover it .
Brining a fresh Turkey works great whether your smoking it or throwing in the oven

Oh yea...rinse bird well with cold water after removing from the brine.

Spatchcocking is the way to go, although they could have come up with a better name for it. Cuts cooking time in half or better and is evenly cooked.

Local, organic, sunchoke, leek and potato soup, with prosciutto and provolone on a toasted slice of French bread. Garnish with crispy bacon and parsley. Easy to make. The kids gobbled it up.
 
Smoked pork side ribs, pit beans and slaw. Beans were going to be finished in smoker under ribs to catch drippings but due to a catastrophic smoker failure that didn't happen and ribs had to be finished in oven, beans just stayed on the wood stove all day with the occasional top up of beer. Unfortunately due to watching underplaying Canucks there isn't a plated pic.
