First time dry brining and can't believe the result!! 18lb 285-300° for 5.5hrs. Kinders brand 72hr dry brine, lightly rinsed and heavily buttered under the skin prior to smoke. Then basted with a compound butter mix while smoking.

    100% agree. First time dry brining this year and flavor and texture of the white meat is waaay better. Wet brine dilutes the flavor and I think just
    makes everything more rubbery. Skin is basically impossible to crisp unless you have really high heat on it.
