Turkey Brine Recipe For Smoking?

I'm smoking a turkey for thanksgiving. Should I brine it first?
I have never brined anything before. But I want my turkey to come out juicy as possible so I would like to follow a recipe.
Bought an 11 pound turkey that i want to smoke and I am using an electric smoker.

I need to know how and how long to smoke my turkey, any other tips are welcome as well...
I want to make my turkey have an awesome flavor even if you dont eat the skin!

I highly recommend brining your thanksgiving turkey but it will be good regardless.
I had never done this until last year and the flavor was really good and the meat very moist.

Last year I brined our Thanksgiving turkey with some dried herbs, whole peppercorns, salt and sugar. If you're smoking the turkey, a good counter-point type of flavor might be to go for a sweeter or even a fruity brine.

Smoking turkey is much easier than you realize.

Start your smoker and heat to 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. I use non-stick oil based spray on the grate to prevent sticking later. Follow your smoker safe cooking instructions, however most tell you to maintain a cooking temperature of at least 225 degrees while smoking. I smoke turkey with hickory chips soaked.

OK, here's the recipe.
