What kind of wood chips should I use? Apple? Mesquite? Doing a test run before Christmas Many thanks.

All will work, try pecan sometime.

A fruit tree. I covered one of mine (just a breast) last time in a bacon weave. Brined for 12 hours, air dryer in the fridge, bacon weave..

I would say stay away from mesquite. Way too strong for poultry I think. Pecan or apple would be great for the turkey.

Spatchcock it and brine it overnight. Use a fruit wood or maybe a little pecan like mentioned before. I've been experimenting myself and even if you don't use any additional smoke at all it will turn out great.

I'm disappointed. No obligatory Dale's reference.

Be sure to soak the wood chips in gasoline so they light well.

So how did the bacon weave one turn out compared to the other one? Thinking about tying that.

After soaking in Dale's of course.

Have not seen the bacon weave before. Will definitely use it next time.
