Started off with:

5# Pork Shoulder
1.3# Pork Tenderloin
I wanted to go back to a brine cure method for this cook.  My last 3 CB cooks have been dry cure, and I need to work on the brine technique.  I also am starting to use metric measurements for curing and sausage making.  Metric makes scaling of recipes much easier.

Brine:

3L Water
2 Bay leaves crumbled
105g Morton Kosher Salk
45g Cure #1 (Pink Curing Salts)
180g sugar in the raw
15g minced garlic
10g rubbed sage
10g ground savory

The egg did a great job holding temp at 185-200 for 4 hours.
