Cindy Lou’s big kahuna dry rub on best BBQ rubs and seasonings: Pecan wood is best for this turkey but almost any fruit wood or a mix of pecan and fruit wood such as apple or cherry, would be great. Let the turkey smoke for about 2 hours without touching it. At the 2-hour mark, begin mopping the bird with the Maple Barbecue Mop Sauce hourly (see recipe below). Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the bird and the temperature of the smoker. For a 25 pound turkey, smoking time will take approximately 5 to 6 hours. For a 15 pounder, the cooking time is about 3 hours. Monitor the thickest part of the turkey breast but also check the turkey legs before bringing the turkey in the house. It is recommended that you use a good digital probe meat thermometer, checking the temperature every hour once you start mopping the bird. Turkey breast, which is white meat, cooks a little differently than the darker meat found in the legs and wings. It is important to find the happy medium between getting the two meats perfectly done. We usually go with the breast temperature and as long as both the white and dark meats are at least 165°F. At this point, the turkey is done. Remember, the temperature is going to increase some after it is pulled off the smoker. We recommend a finish temperature of 165°F simply because we believe that’s the optimum temperature based on our experience.

Steakhouse Brine Grilling Directions: Combine the ingredients in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag: seal and shake until the salt and sugar dissolve, about 30 seconds. (Note: for a faster method, bring the ingredients up to a low simmer in a sauce pan. Just make sure to let the mixture cool completely before adding the meat.) Put the bag in a bowl just large enough to hold it snugly. Open the bag and add the meat. Seal the zipper, leaving about an inch open; push on the bag to release any trapped air through the opening, and close the zipper completely. Massage the liquid gently into the meat and refrigerate for the suggested time as follows: Boneless Poultry: 1 hour; Bone-in Poultry, Chops and Steaks: 2 to 3 hours; Roasts: 3 to 8 hours (depending on size)

Brisket Directions: Rinse the brisket with cold water then pat it dry with paper towels. Pour a small amount olive oil over the brisket and gently spread it around. Using a fair amount of Cindy Lou’s Black Label, massage it into the brisket. Repeat this until the whole brisket is generously seasoned. Cover or wrap for 2 – 4 hours (overnight is best). Never let meat stay at room temperature for more than 1 hour. When ready to cook, place drip pan under the grill rack. Fill drip pan with 1 part Beer to 1 part apple juice. Heat grill to 225° putting the room temperature brisket on the grill. In a medium skillet place cube of butter and 2 tablespoons of Cindy Lou’s Black Label, when melted add the onions and “sweat” them until soft and translucent. Take the onions out and set aside. Add to the butter mixture, one bottle BBQ sauce, ¼ cup apple juice and one cup of Beef Stock. Mix well.
