Got a turkey breast that I'd like to smoke this weekend, and was wondering if you guys had any ideas for me. My brisket and pork butts have been successful, so I thought I'd give the turkey a try.
Thoughts?

Virtual Weber Bullet is a good resource.
This recipe seems simple and looks good, though I haven't tried it.
Cinnamon/Cumin Rub For Poultry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup garlic salt
1/4 cup celery salt
1/4 cup paprika
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
I think you should stuff it with a cheeseburger. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I can't help you with how to do the smoking, as I don't have a smoker. That said, our closest friends (also Husker fans) do a ton of smoking. He gets these chicken sausages from Costco (they are about the size of Bratwurst) and smokes them, and they are absolutely outstanding. They make a great contrast to some of the drier smoked meats like turkey.
I love sausages (I know I'm leaving myself open).
I'm really hoping that this turkey breast stays moist. I'm trying to decide if I should brine it, use an injectable marinade, or both.

I've had something pretty similar and works well. However, with turkey, I wouldn't worry about the rub that much. For turkey I have used a dry rub version in the cavity then add olive oil to some of the recipe and made a wet rub for the rest. I've pulled back the skin and placed the rub directly on the meat and pinned the skin back to the bird.I saw that site. This is the rub recipe they have listed:
Anyone ever try this or something similar?
