Don't know bout the cranberry juice in the smoker pan.....but Apple juice once it gets cooked down will turn your smoking pan into a nice crusty sugary black blob that is a mother to get out. Sticking with water in my smoker. Injection into the meat works well as does the brine. Spending 2 hours to clean a pan is not fun.
Looked good Rick. Wish I would have saved a couple whole breasts to try it. I guess I will have to take the kid out turkey hunting again to get more meat.
