Gonna smoke mine I think with some Kickory. Just wanted to brine a bird for the first time as well. Guess I need a bucket for it.

I was planning on doing an 18-20 pounder in the WSM. But after reading up a bit on the Virtual Bullet website, I'm thinking it might be better to do two 10-12 pounders.. Still debating though.

I never smoke a bird over 14 pounds. In fact that is always the poundage I shoot for when I am buying. For a WSM though I would say a couple of 12 pounders should do just fine.
