BASIC PORK BRINE
I use this brine for all pork cuts that I grill. It adds a subtle flavor to the meat without being too salty. The pork cooks up tender, moist and delicious every time.

PULLED PORK BRINE RECIPE
Apple and pork are two things that always go together so well. So, for the oh-so-American, perfect pulled pork brine recipe, it makes sense to incorporate the use of apple juice-based brine.

Steps:
- For this pulled pork recipe, combine all of the brine ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Make sure that you stir well so that all of the spices get completely dissolved in the mixing bowl.
- Once the brine is complete, place the pork butt in a food-safe storage container and pour the brine inside.
- As for the refrigerator, once everything is sealed up tight and the pork is just about completely covered, refrigerate 12 to 18 hours.
- When it is time to cook the pork butt, remove it from the container. Dry the pork off using some kitchen paper towels.
- You can use the ingredients listed above to create a rub that pairs well with the brine used.
- Either way, always put a lightly coated "binder" on the pork so that the rub will have a better chance of sticking.
- Once you have the rub on, allow the pork butt to sit with it.
- Ideally, the pork should sit for about 20-30 minutes.
- While the pork sits, you can take the time to prepare your smoker, starting by preheating it to 225ºF.
- When the smoker is ready, place the pork butt inside and close the lid.
- At the beginning stages of the cooking process, it isn't too important to monitor the internal temperature of the pork.
- Since we're smoking the pork butt here, we're aiming for a cooking time anywhere from 9 to 12 hours long, so prepare yourself for keeping a watch on that smoker.
- Around the four hour mark or so, use a good thermometer to begin checking on that internal temperature.
- When the pork butt reaches an internal temperature of around 160ºF, wrap it up in aluminum foil.
- Keep an eye on that internal temperature.
- The optimal temperature for a well-finished pork butt is 195ºF. Sometimes, the pork can reach that around 9 hours or so.
- Once that target temperature has been met, remove the pork butt from the smoker.
- Be sure to let this rest for a good amount of time. It is ideal to rest for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
- When it's time, remove the pork butt from the aluminum foil.
- This liquid is packed full of flavor, so you will want to save it; it can be mixed into the meat later on.
- Take a fork and knife, a pulling claw, or your hands as long as they are properly protected with the right gloves.
- Regardless of what you use, as the internal temperature of the pork is 195ºF, it should shred with relative ease.
- If you plan to serve up the brined pulled pork pork immediately, then you can use that liquid you saved from the aluminum foil and mix it in with the meat, add some homemade barbecue sauce.

Steps:
- Place the pork on a large plate or cutting board. Mix together the sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the pork.
- Add the pork to an 8-quart slow cooker. Pour in the pickle brine and chicken broth and cook on high until the pork is very tender and easy to shred with two forks, 8 to 10 hours.
- Shred the pork and mix with the cooking liquid.
- Serve the pork on buns with coleslaw, baked beans, pickle slices and BBQ sauce!
- For an easy leftover idea, add the pork to tortilla chips, top with cheese and broil until bubbly. Top with your favorite nacho toppings like pickled jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, scallions and lime juice. Easy lunch or snack!

- Combine molasses, pickling salt, and water in 6-quart Lexan. Add Boston butt making sure it is completely submerged in brine, cover, and let sit in refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours. 12 hours is ideal.
- Place cumin seed, fennel seed, and coriander in food grinder and grind fine. Transfer to a small mixing bowl and stir in chili powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Remove Boston butt from brine and pat dry. Sift the rub evenly over the shoulder and then pat onto the meat making sure as much of the rub as possible adheres. More rub will adhere to the meat if you are wearing latex gloves during the application.
- Preheat smoker to 210 degrees F. Place butt in smoker and cook for 10 to12 hours, maintaining a temperature of 210 degrees F. Begin checking meat for doneness after 10 hours of cooking time. Use fork to check for doneness. Meat is done when it falls apart easily when pulling with a fork. Once done, remove from pot and set aside to rest for at least 1 hour. Pull meat apart with 2 forks and serve as sandwich with coleslaw and dressing as desired.

Steps:
- Combine the hot water and the salt (brine ingredients) in a 54-quart cooler. Stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the vegetable broth and the honey. Add the ice and stir. Place the pork in the brine, fat cap up, and cover with cooler lid. Brine overnight, up to 12 hours.
- Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry thoroughly. Rub the butt(s) with the vegetable oil. Then add your favorite rub mixture (I included recipe for mine above). Wrap in plastic wrap and allow to sit in fridge at least 3 more hours. Then remove and rest at room temperature for 1 more hour while you pre-heat the grill to 250 degrees F.
- Using a smoker, place pork over indirect heat in smoker with hickory wood, (if you have one, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the pork, and set the alarm for 165 degrees F. If you don't have one, you will have to use a stick thermometer every hour after about 10 hours.) Close the lid and cook for at least 4 hours.
- After 4 hours check the pork; if the surface is golden brown, cover with aluminum foil tent and continue cooking. Once the butt(s) reach 165 degrees F (about 14 hours), remove from grill, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 1 hour. Shred then add favorite bbq sauce. (The best brand is Sven's Sizzlin Sauce, but if you can't find that Famous Dave's Sweet and Zesty will work as well.).
- For my homemade Carolina Style bbq sauce (also good as a marinade):.
- 5 cups cider vinegar 5 tbl kosher salt 2 ½ tsp cayenne pepper 1 tbl + 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes ¾ cup brown sugar.
- Combine and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 6 hours to let flavors blend before using. I usually make it just before I load the meat into the smoker. Then add this sauce to moisten the shredded meat about 1 cup at a time until meat is wet enough to your liking. (About 3½ to 4 cups per 10 pounds of meat for me, you may not like as much or more, here's a hint: taste often until it's the way you like it.) Then you can add some of the store brand sauce of your choice, to "kick it up a notch", if you wish.
- Then, I usually finish it by adding a little more of the dry rub. Feel free to experiment with this one, you may or may not want to add any more once the sauce is applied.

APPLE JUICE BRINED BBQ PULLED PORK RECIPE | TRAEGER GRILLS
From traeger.com
- Plan ahead, this recipe brines overnight and cooks all day, but it’s well worth the time for these delicious flavors.
- In a large saucepan, combine all the brine ingredients with 2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
- Pour over the pork butt in a food-safe bucket or food storage container. Be sure the pork is fully submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 225℉ preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available. Grill: 225 ˚F.
- While the grill preheats, remove the pork roast from the brine and reserve the liquid. Using a meat injector, inject the pork with some remaining brine about every 2 inches across the entire roast.
- Generously season the roast on all sides with the Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub. Put the pork roast on the grill grate, fat-side up, and smoke for 3 hours, mopping with the apple juice brine every hour after the first hour.
- Transfer pork roast to a disposable aluminum foil pan large enough to hold the roast.
- Increase the grill temperature to 250℉, and place the pan directly on the grill grate. Continue to cook for 6 to 8 additional hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, but not touching the bone, registers 204℉ to 206℉.
- With your hands, pull the pork into chunks. Discard the bone and any lumps of fat, including the cap. Pull each chunk into shreds, and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
