It took a very long time for the salt to dissolve for me. It never really dissolved. I added more water thinking it was too concentrated and that seemed to help. It mostly dissolved in 10 cups of water instead of the 4 cups that the recipe called for. I boiled that water for at least 40 mins. My turkey is in the smoker right now! So anxious to see how it turns out!

Hi Craig – You can just add that time on to the end (when the temp is at 350)!

Curious how to adjust the smoking times for a larger turkey? Say for example a 22 lb turkey.

Do I add to the time in each temperature step, or do I only increase the time at 350 degrees until it hits 165 internal?

Best turkey I have made. I did not brine the turkey but I used this rub and followed the smoker instructions. The turkey was perfect.

I smoked a 20 pound Turkey yesterday and it turned out absolutely delicious thanks to your recipe! So juicy and flavorful and I didn’t brine it! Thank you!
