Brining a butt?!?!?!

[bhille42]

I don't understand why everyone seems to be making a big deal about this. We all know people do some pretty strange things when it comes to BBQ. I think that's just party of the beauty of it. It's all about experimenting and coming up with new and better techniques. If it works for ya, Brine on!

I think you may be thinking of CURING Trav... A'la Buckboard bacon. I'd imagine if you cured a butt and smoked it to pull point instead of slice like the BBB, you'd have pretty close to pulled ham.

Incidentally, I once tried to get a home cured ham to pull. Din't work VERY well, but it was tasty. Ended up mainly chopping it.
