    good luck If you go that route I would really be concerned about over salting and the product ending up to salty? The pink cure consist of the 6.25% sodium nitrate and 93.75% salt. If you are brining chickens they are not that thick to need a long brining? Are you injecting the brine plus...

    I think it depends on what you are trying to make? depending on the temperature in the smoke chamber you may not even need to use cure fro chicken? if you want the pink/ham taste more like deli luncheon meats then you need cure.
