    Too much cure #1?

    Thanks I had a question then regarding the 1 tsp per 5lb of meat rule.  Is there a rule for how much liquid you can use per 5lb of meat or liquid to cure #1?  I want to give it another shot tomorrow... Also, how long do you generally let meat cure before putting it in the smoker?

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Newbie in Philly!

    Hey guys, I've been lurking around these boards for a while and decided to join after my first butt! I have a Charbroil Red three burner grill and I just got a MES40 from Sam's.  I've never really tried smoking anything before except for the one time I tried to smoke some ribs in my grill...
