    No brine but have marinated with molasses and sometimes honey. Got to be careful though as the sugar can form a burnt crust that is not good.
    For a different take on my turkeys, I occasionally use orange marmalade to marinate and baste. Gives it an island luau kinda taste that everyone likes. At least that's what they tell me.

    There's no better turkey in my opinion than one done correctly in the egg.

    I cheat. I have a commercial electric smoker. After brining the butt(s) for 24 hours and adding the rub, I put them in the smoker around 8 or 9 pm, push one button and they will cook overnight at 225 for 12 hours, then hold at 145 until I'm ready to take them out. They've always turned out great....

    What's the smoke. I also have an older electric smoker. Looking to upgrade maybe

    Also, what is the brine for your pork?

    The smoker is a Cookshack like this one. My brine is pretty simple. 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts water, 1/4 cup salt.

    I'll have to try that. I like to change it up every now and then. One of the things I also do is place a catch pan on the rack below the butt. Catch all the juice and save it for later. After the butt has rested for a while, I hand pull it and place the meat in a container. I then take a cup or two of the saved juice, add about 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Mix all together real well, and pour over the meat. Talk about moist and melt in your mouth.....I'm hungry!!!

    LMAO, I'll never turn down oysters, that's what I was eating during the SC game. And will be again for LSU and KY.

    Would you mind expanding how you do it? Is it a paste that is spread over the meat? Thanks, hombre

    The smoker is a Cookshack like this one. My brine is pretty simple. 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts water, 1/4 cup salt.

    While its fresh on my mind, I was inspired by yours and did this (mostly approximate quantities):

    1 pint (16 oz) apple cider vinegar
    1 1/2 pint (24 oz) white vinegar
    ~ 1 pint (16 oz) Mott's for Tots apple white grape juice
    1/3 cup Kosher salt
    1 tsp dry thyme leaves
    1 smallish pork butt (it was wrapped in string)

    The Motts was leftover from a colonoscopy prep. Most brines have sugar and salt to simulate a blood replacement (cf: Normal saline). Motts will provide some sugar and some flavor (I presume - great aroma). The thyme is cause I like the herb. The butt was larger than I thought and this should be enough. I could have added more Motts or some water.

    (Take from brine, pat dry, then...) This will go into a Crock-Pot (slow cooker) with seasonings - likely Italian and/or oregano - after about 4 hours in the brine. Hope to report good results.

    Bought some BBQ sauce that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup, so will try that with this.
