In reply to Paul Rubeans. Hey Paul!! 100% I would season it!! It really helps prepares it for cooking, it burned off any residues left over from the manufacturing process, stuff like machine dust and oils! I would just start it up set the temp to on your Masterbuilt to 275 degrees and set it for two hours, I would then let it cool then you are ready to smoke your turkey mate!! Let me know how you go!

Hi Charles! I just picked up my new masterbuilt smoker!! I am stoked to do my first cook on it, I am thinking of doing this smoked turkey recipe first, do you think I need to season the smoker first or is it good to go straight out of the box??

Hi Charlie,
In step 2 of your recipe it says to use a “corrosive” container. I’m guessing you meant “non-corrosive”. This is a mistake some people could make that would not turn out well with all the acid in the recipe. Also, I always use apple chunks for my wood when using my electric smoker. Apple is my all time favorite.

Merry Christmas!

In reply to Patrick England. Hi Patrick - sorry that was not very clear I have amended that. 350 is to pre heat the smoker then turn it down to 230 for cooking!

Hello Charlie, I was curious about the temperature set 350° in step 5 of the instructions. In the above ” how long to smoke a turkey” you had mentioned 30 mins per pound at 230°. My question is this temperature of 350° just to get the smoker ready for the bird and then to smoke the Turkey at 230° until the bird is finished?
Thanks for sharing

In reply to Jenny McClay. Hiya Jenny, I have never tried that before but I think its a wonderful idea!! I would be careful of the salt carrying to much, but I would love to hear how it goes, because I want to try it!

Charlie quick question after you take the turkey out of the brine rinse it and put it in the fridge would you save the orange wedges and ginger that you brined them in and put them and the into the turkey and smoke them in it or would it be to fruity or salty??🤔 Thank You
