This is based off of several brine recipes I've found. I combined them together and lets just say I couldn't stop eating even though I was full. I've used this for poultry, pork & beef. I always leave stuff in to brine over night but you can find brining suggestions here: http://www.cookshack.com/store/Smokin-Okies-101-Series/Brining-101
