Use a brine for Marinating a Boston Butt or not.

Unknown · February 2007

I used a brine to marinate (2) 5.5 pound boston butts over night.
A few of yall said dont use a brine and a few said that a brine was o.k.
Whats the overall vote on pork brine??
Use it or not?
I have 10 hours left to find out what I think!

Dale Benton,
I vote no, no I mean yes...no no is what I want,no maybe a yes will do, no I think yes is really a no.[p]
I have never brined a butt b-4 and the last butt I made
brought a proposal

Dale Benton,
I say NO! I did this and the butt tasted hammy and salty. It is too long of a cook and there is too much attention to this venture to have a dissapointing result. Stick with injections, rubs, and smoke.

ShortRib,
Actually, if you don't believe me, cut the butt in half and brine one half. That way, you are not left with a ton of ham.

Maybee they will be ok.

Dale
