Meat Church Turkey Brine Bird Baptism 1.25 lb Bag (20 oz) is built for cooks who refuse to serve dry poultry. Long holiday roasts and low-and-slow smokes can easily pull moisture from turkey and chicken, leaving you with bland, dry slices. Bird Baptism solves that problem by locking in moisture while delivering balanced, savory seasoning deep into the meat.
Originally developed from a competition-proven recipe, this gluten-free, no-MSG brine produces consistent, reliable results. Whether you are preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, smoking whole chickens, or grilling wings for a crowd, this brine creates tender, juicy poultry with well-rounded flavor throughout.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
