I'm going to be smoking a turkey for New Years and need a brine bucket. What make something food safe? Would a new bucket from a hardware store make it food safe?

Not necc. Food safe means the plastics are a very tightly bound structure, and generally have no dyes in them. Therefore either white or translucent. "Clean" is not "food safe"
And as y'all know, brining should never be done in a reactive vessel, such as cast iron, aluminum, etc. Good stainless, glass or food grade plastics only!
Call a local resto and ask them for a bucket..chances are they'll give ya one :{)In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

I have often used a cooler. I can not imagine the plastic in a cooler not to be rated food safe.....

i picked up a brine bag at bed bath and beyond, it was a huge double seal ziplock style bag designed to hold a 25 lb turkey. it held two 12 pounders and the brine just fine. i let it rest over nighted it in a cooler with ice. it sure made clean up a breeze.
a question for the pro's... fire house subs sells the empty 5 gl pickle buckets would they work?Island of Misfit Smokers Member #92
