Thanks Tony, I hadn't figured that long for the brine as I guess that I was thinking ribs.. 12+ hours it will be. I'll let you know how it goes, with pics.
My plan is to mix brine tonight, refrigerate overnight, Put Butt in brine early AM, remove 12/13 hours later, rinse, pat dry, rub, and start smoking around 9 PM.
I have to work around a couple of commitments so this smoke may be 1 or even 2 days delayed.. No hurry.
Thanks again for the response...
Ralph
