When you boil it the ingredients don't separate. If you do boil it make sure the brine has cooled or you'll start cooking whatever you throw in it. I usually just mix it all in a ziplock and throw in the meat. Much quicker and you have one less pan to clean up.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

I don't brine all that often, but that seems like a salty blend. I'm wondering if you should boil the amounts you listed and then add ice cubes or water/liquid. I would think that with 1/2 cup salt, you'd want about 1/2 gallon of water/liquid.
