I like to use 2 qts water 1/2 to 3/4 cup non-iodized salt and one cup of dark brown sugar...some garlic ...or Johnny's seafood seasoning...soak it over night....drain it off and let it sit out on racks for about 1 hour...then i smoke it using Alder chips (two pans) for around 6 hours.....and baste it with a mix of dark brown sugar and melted butter (thick) three times in the process...take it out...let it cool and give it one more glaze A very cold dark brown ale goes well with this recipe
