Visiting the "Inlaws" this coming Saturday. Doing a 15lb turkey and 1/2 a pork loin to take up. Both have been brined over night in Apple juice brine and I sprinkled some "BIG E" powder on them. Thanks again for the rub buddy. ;)

Thats the same brine I used on my Christmas turkey. It adds a real subtle taste to the meat, an excellent choice! Great pics Bill, thanks for sharing!
