So I brine cured a pork butt a couple Sundays ago. Took it out last Saturday and rinsed and soaked in clean waterX2. Smoked it Sunday and noticed when I took it out of smoker it was leaching out salt like crazy. Should I soak it for a few hours tomorrow before I cook it?

I Dry Cure mine with Tender Quick, and I never heard of anything like that. Are you sure it's salt that is leaching out??

I would ask some people who brine cure their Butts what that is.
