Lookin good Rick, better catch that measuring cup before it goes down the garbage disposal. ;D
So what was the Nepas twist? I would have removed the skin personally for better absorbsion of the brine and smoke later. See you in a week!!
I just cooked up some spice and added cold water to cool it, then added to brine.
A week is gunna kill me ;D
How did you like the amount you had to inject? Should be a bit more than two bottles of soda pop or 3 1/2 cans of beer as a reference. My math says you had to inject with 44-45 oz of brine.

I pumped a little more into it. wanted to make sure i got in by the bone all around.
Lookin' good Nepas!
I think waiting a week to see this is going to kill me too. :D
I'm also interested what the skin will absorb.
