Im doing an apple cider brined bird on a ceramic smoker.

Here's the Brine:

-Simmer 1qt of apple cider, 1.5 cups of kosher salt, 1/4 cup allspice berries & some bay leaves for 5 mins
-Add 3qts of apple cider & 4qts of cold water to the above
-brine bird overnight in the fridge (covered)
-drain the brine, rinse the bird, pat dry, and refrigerate (uncovered) the night before
