Dumb question of the day ......
Are brines supposed to be boiled before use?
I have always just mixed components together and dumped away
I mayu have goofed in the past and thought I was doing well !
All I wanted to do was slow smoke some ribs.  Another addiction created thanks to the Bradley that requires regular servicing...  But what an addiction to have.  Even better to share here with some of the best people on the planet.

Would you like smoke with that sir ?

I don't believe the boiling is a safety thing.

It is easier to get the salt (and other items) to dissolve in hot water.

FLB is right, it just lets the salt and sugar desolve faster but you need to cool the brine down to the mid 30s before you add the barn birds


Its cold today, smoker having a time getting past 220* so i had to improvise some  ;D

Well i guess the Mrs aint going to get any chicken, I just got informed that she leaves for Atlanta in the morning for a week  :-\




Woo Hoo party at NePas house.

That yard bird looks gooood, never thought of using crab boil, but have used most every thing thats in the boil in some of my brines.

Also I feel that boiling the brine helps bring out the flavor of the dried spices.

We don't want the recipe for a "everlastinggobstopper" just everything else. ;D ;D
