Pork Brine?

[jbomb]

I was wondering if anyone ever does a brine on their pork butts? Or do most just do a rub?
I usually just rub them up and let them sit in the fridge from nite till morning. I saw a show on the food network with Alton Brown where he used a brine and thought of trying it.

I dont, but have a freind that does all the time.
1 gallon water
1 cup kosher salt
1 cup suger, he uses brown
3-4T some rub,or spices of your choice

Soak for 8-10 hours, you can sub a juice for the water, and adjust the rub/spice to your taste.

Thia works with all meats, just adj. times
