Dang, you are gonna be through that book before I even get started.
I got my curing salt through Butcher packer and Supply Company online. 8oz for $2.50. Haven never seen it at my academy. I try not to go in there or I will spend too much money, but I'll look next time I go in there, which maybe tomorrow. Need more ammo for the ranch next weekend....and maybe another gun....

Oh, I know. I've looked there before. In 3 seperate Academy's (dallas, mesquite and frisco). Trust me, I've looked. But I'll look again tomorrow although now I have enough for 100 lbs of meat or 100 gallons of brine. I should be good for awhile.

OK...this may be a dumb question, but what are yall using to brine your birds in? I don't know if I have anything big enough to put a 20# bird in that will keep it completely submerged.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

I'm doing a 15lb ham in a brining bag in a cooler with ice this week. If you have an extra fridge, head on over to Home Depot and get one of the 5 gallon orange buckets. we are headed to my sisters ranch this year so I'm not doing a bird for the first time in quite a while. we were put in charge of breakfast so we made 10 lbs of bacon and a fresh brined, maple glazed ham with some jalapeño cheese grits.......boom.......that just happened. It's going to blow their mindsKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

I've had 37! ...............ours was just a giant ziplock but we paid $2 more because we were at whole foods. I'm sure it was made with some special non global warming sustainable materials..........or they just bought the zip locks and put it in a new box with graphics that look 20 years old made with soy ink and charged me 40% moreKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

A 5 gallon bucket.

I bought some rubbermaid plastic storage bins from Home Despot that hold a turkey, and that are much shorter than the 5 gal buckets. If I use a bucket, I have to rearrange the beer and remove a shelf in the manbearcave fridge.
If you have a big enough crisper drawer, and I do this for smaller stuff, you can put your brine and meat in a bag and throw it in that.

hapster said:Brine question... The bone in breasts that I picked up last night do not state "enhanced" anywhere on the label; but to say they have up to 6% added water, with no preservatives, MSG, etc...
Are they okay to brine?
______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
@hapster - No prob. Another way to tell is to look at the nutritional information label. The sodium per serving should be well under 100 milligrams per serving. If it's several hundred or more, then salt was added.
______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
That's perfect. I just bags all the time for brining and marinating.

So question, do I rinse the bird after I pull it from the brine? Didn't see that listed in the instructions but many recipes say to rinse it so just checking.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
