I am new

[Firescue1]

I am new to this forum!  ::) I have just ordered my first BS, of course I bought myself a Christmas present. Can someone tell me about brine?  I am not sure I understand the process.  I am interested in Boston butts, chickens, turkeys, ribs, and picnic shoulders.  Thanks

You best way to start would be to check out the recipe site. That has a lot of information that is well organized.

Welcome Firescue1. Hab is right on about the recipe site. Snoop around a bit and a lot of questions could get answered. If not, just ask away. :)

Greetings,

Concerning brining I cannot suggest strongly you read and re-read the following:
CURING and BRINING, From JJC

After you have that down then I further suggest you read and re-read the following:
FOOD POISONING AND FOOD HYGIENE PART 1, From Paul Woods
Food Poisoning and Food Hygiene Part

These are long reads but most important for the person beginning to try their hand at Curing and Brining.

Welcome aboard Firescue1, I am quite new here myself but have already learned a lot from many people here. The advice given in the links above is very good and having done my first few brine cures over the last month or so I can say that it really does make a big difference and is well worth the time and trouble.

Happy smoking and Happy New Year!
