Definitely will try some sugar next time.
Had some again for dinner tonight. Must say, tastes better after sitting for a day.

You could also cut back some on the salt or reduce the brine time to help also.

When I brine I always add additional flavorings to the brine.

Brining accomplishes two things.

1. Add moisture to the meat - by way of osmosis, the salt enters the meat and takes the water with it, since initially the salt concentration is higher in the brine.

2. Carry water soluble flavorings into the meat.

I use a vegetable broth / honey brine for Turkey.

Hi Paddlinpaul;

Check out this thread for a brine.....

I've also used just salt, sugar and maple syrup and the results are great even with 4-5 hours of smoke.

Regards, Rich

Thanks Rich. That brine does sound good. Enough sweetness to take out the salt flavor by the looks of it.
