Hey man go with surecatch's recipe. My father in law has been doing it for 30 some odd years and has the same recipe only he sticks it all in a bowl for 24 hours in the fridge uncovered to dry out and then puts the brown sugar'/salt brine on it for another 24 hours THEN sticks it in the smoker. I would say you need to write down all of these recipes down and try them all before you make a decision on what YOU like. Cuz different people like different flavoring dude. Tight lines!
