Used this ratio for a butterball last Christmas. Smoked on a Modified Brinkman over Charcoal and Mesquite chunks (every 4-5 hours) for 14 hrs. Results were excellent.
Also squeezed a lemon into the mix.
1 gallon water
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, thyme, and black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
