Willing to share the brine recipe you use?

Expand  

Absolutely.  

For every gallon of water.

1 tbs cure #1

1/4 to 1/2 cup of( I use 1/4 cup)

Non iodized salt(coarse kosher is what I use

Light brown sugar. (Again I use 1/4 cup

I have used stevia, and couldn't tell the difference.

Add tsp of garlic powder and onion powder.

 

In a sauce pan add a cup or so of water and 1/4 cup of picking spices. Bring to a boil, the simmer for 10 min to release the flavors. Let cool and add to the brine.

I inject the brine in the meat so it cures from the inside as well as the outside.

I let em soak for 10 days min.  It's ok to go longer.  The meat will equalize with the brine mixture. It won't keep absorbing the cure.  

I smoke at 225* until I reach a IT of 130. 

I then place in a aluminum pan with a rack in the bottom, add some broth, a beer, whatever you want, to the pan. 1/2 cup is plenty. Cover tightly with foil, and into the oven( or pit if it's still going) till a IT of 155*.  

Slice and enjoy.

Why don't you cut and paste that to a new thread in the recipes section. That one would be worth keeping it there and not seeing it get buried.  Thanks

Very nice I love it up here was stationed at fort drum I love my mountains, BTW those pork butts look really good. I got some wild turkey breasts to put on the smoker use a special dry rub and inject twice with creole butter b4 and after smoking then let rest. funominal  and always juicy

Ever try marinating the turkey breasts in OJ and Italian dressing overnight before hitting with dry rub ? I then wrap in bacon and smoke Never injected with creole butter but that sounds really good and I'm going to look into that.

Pulled these off at 6 this morning after a 12 hour smoke.

The pic was at 3am before foiling when they hit 170.

Wrapped in towels at 6 and rested in the cooler until 7:30 and then pulled till 10!

21 pounds of pulled pork cooled, bagged and ready to go!

Had some time today,  and needed some smoke therapy.  

8# brisket.  Came out fantastic 

19# double smoked ham.  Looks burnt, but it the sugars in the glaze that makes it look like that.

7# venison hind. Pulled it at 128*.  Going to be sliced thin for sandwiches.
