I just bought a Masterbuilt smoker (MES140G), came today. I've never smoked anything before (in a smoker anyway). I'm going to condition it tomorrow and hope to smoke a few chickens in it later this week. I also hope to smoke a turkey for Christmas this year.

I know I can (and will) do an internet search for brines for chicken and turkey but I'm curious what you guys have done that are proven recipes.

Also any other tips that anyone wants to give me I'd be greatly appreciative of.
