    Calibrating the Thermometer

    I just received my 2" River Country Thermometer and I am trying to calibrate it. I tried the "boiling point" method and it seems to have helped, but I did not know how long to hold it in the water. Any advice on getting a sound calibration with these cooking thermometers?

    Should I brine the pork butt?

    It is my first smoker go round and there is so much out there! Opinions differ and money is always the antecedent to any choice I make. Really, I am just writing to see if I should brine the butt, what  brine recipe should I use, and the duration of the butt brine. There is not a specific brine...
