1tsp of cure #1 in a gallon of water with a pork butt is futile, as well as two days in brine. Where do you people get these recipes? They will not work and are flat out dangerous.i brined my pork for 2 days in 1gl of water in fridge with 1cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar,1/2 cup of salt and 1tsp of prague pink powder #01. its cut into 1x2 inch strips. after 2 days there is no pink color. does it need to sit longer?

Devils advocate but this seems like a set up. Don't know by who or why but just saying

Lots of people show up here asking for help or advise. All posting recipes that are either not posted correctly, or came from a source other than here, but still they are here asking for clarification. These are “those people”.what does you people mean?
How many pounds of meat are you brining?i brined my pork for 2 days in 1gl of water in fridge with 1cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar,1/2 cup of salt and 1tsp of prague pink powder #01. its cut into 1x2 inch strips. after 2 days there is no pink color. does it need to sit longer?
ok. thank you for the help. I'll post some pics with results.Doing the math, with 5# of meat, 1 gallon of water, 1/2 cup of salt....you are between 1.75 and 2.25% salt...depending on how fine the salt was when you measured out 1/2 cup. Should be fine, but a more consistent and precise method is to weigh the salt as BGKYSmoker (Rick) has posted above.
just using them to dry on.I see you have them in dehydrator trays...are you putting them in the dehydrator or just leaving them out on the counter to dry a little prior to smoking?
