okesmokie,[p]I started brining ribs when I was using metal grills, because I could never go low and slow enough with that set up. Brined ribs on a metal grill were almost passable. It doesn't seem necessary with the Egg, but its a habit with me. I usually use salt, lemon juice and ginger, sometimes some pepper or allspice. Its sort of a brine-inade.[p]gdenby

gdenby,Thanks for the response. I like more salt and that’s the reason I thank I would like to brine them even though I have never brined anything before. Any suggestions on that I would appreciate your

okesmokie,[p]QUESTION???

I've never brined but want to try. Do you have to use Kosher Salt or is plain (Iodized) salt okay? I'm currently out of Kosher but have big tub of Morton's Rock Salt (for ice cream) and tub of Morton's Plain Salt. I've read about brining and have seen comments of "Do not use Iodized Salt!"[p]Anyone know if this is true and if so, WHY?
