Smoking Meat

Remember those wee rounds of shrink-wrapped smoked Cheddar from holidays past? This rendition is unspeakably better.

It's not just about how lovely a turkey imbued with smoke would be. It's also about how lovely more space in the oven on Thanksgiving would be.

Perhaps the simplest, most versatile brine ever. Seriously. Just salt and water. Surely you can handle that.
