    I just had my wife check my existing homer buckets and they are marked with a "2" which seems to be just fine per the information shared about the different plastics. I think I will be okay for this 8 hour brine...

    Yeah, not worried about the moistness, I also haven't had a problem with dry meat either. My main concern on the temps was the quality of the finished skin (higher temps usually mean better, crispy skin to some extent) and getting out of the danger zone (40-140) within 4 hours.

    Wow, that white wine worchestershire, aka Marinade for Chicken was a tough product to find locally. I called like 6 stores before I could even find a store that carried it.

    I plan to use a 5 gallon homer bucket from home depot with a lid and put the entire bucket in my spare fridge. I have a pretty easy setup for this actually.

I know that at 225 the meat will be super tasty as it has been in the past...
