[QUOTE="bigbrad123, post: 161767, member: 806"] Never brined one before. Don't think its needed. Usually just buy a store-bought rub. Put some mustard or olive oil on the outside first and then put a generous amount of rub all over. I've injected mine with apple juice before, but not necessary. I usually smoke with hickory/apple combo, although my next one I am going to try pecan. Usually spritz with apple juice every hour or so. After internal temp reaches 160, I've wrapped and thrown back in the smoker to 205 (put beer or apple juice in the bottom of a foil pan and wrap in foil). Smoke to 205 and it will be eating it before you can even pull it all apart it will be so tender. I also add some more rub into mine to give it a little extra taste after pulling. Some people don't wrap and just let it power through the stall. Might just take a bit longer than wrapping it. Lots of different options just based on your own taste preference and how much time you have. Usually takes me about 4 or 5 hours to get to 160 and another 3 or 4 to get to 205, but it seems like each piece is a bit different. Drinking beer while smoking is essential :;:cheers [/QUOTE]
