I don't think that a simple brine is the same as that melange they are injecting butts and other pork with. I try and leave out all the sodium phosphates, potassium lactate, sodium citrate and sodium diacetate. But hey, to each his own.

I was thinking the same thing about a simple brine VS what ever the stuff is the big packing houses are using.

I was reading on Hormels site that they claim the "marinade" prevents over cooking? Now that has to be some kind of chemical that stops fat from rendering past a certain point. I also read that somewhere along the line Hormel got bought by Cargil. Now back when Ol Blue was just a pup, Cargil sold fertilizer and herbicides. Guess they got to keep those scientists busy :lol:

My first smoked batch of ribs was brined overnight... I went a little overboard, and brined them in apple juice, salt and molasses... fortunately I was incompetent enough to not have them fully soaked... when I smoked them the next day, the outside edges had a distinct apple taste, which wasn't bad, but wasn't what I was looking for.

In terms of overcooking, brining adds salt and moisture to the meat, so you have a larger degree for error before the moisture escapes (I think) thus making it harder to overcook.
