Smoked Turkey - Valentine's day dinner for my 3 favorite guys

This was awesome!! The best thing I have smoked yet. I bought a 7 pound Turkey breast. I soaked it in a brine for 8 hours which consisted of 10 cups water, 1/2 cup Kosher salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce and a tsp of cayenne pepper. Then I made a wet rub:

2 T. Brown Sugar
2 T. Kosher Salt
1 T. Paprika
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp marjoram
2 tsp sage
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 T. Olive oil

rub all over bird - even under the skin.

Then I smoked it for just over 3 hours between 250 and 270. It was melt in your mouth good.

Matt couldn't keep his hand off my breast!
