Cold weather that is. I bought a wifi controller for my camp chef pellet smoker. -2 when the cook was done this evening, it's colder now. Can't even go out to take a leak. Now the poor pics. Sorry

This did not suck. Very juicy and flavorful.
 
I did some bone in chops tonight. Was -6 when I started and -11 by the time I was finished. Yours look much better than mine, hence no pictures!

Ha. I am sure yours looked good
 
Thanks and I didn't brine. I never brine. Maybe I should try it
Not sure how much salt you like, but I use 1Tbs of granulated salt to 1qt of of water to brine pork and chicken pieces. It doesn’t seem like much but it’s enough to taste a difference in the meat and elevate juiciness but at the same time low enough salt to allow for your favorite rub or seasoning without going to salty.

I might try it but I don't really see the need to brine these. Maybe chicken.
