Having gone through the years of cooking changes with BBQ I just think its dangerous to folks who are just getting into this sport to read messages that say MUST or ALWAYS or NEVER. There was a time when the only smokers we amateurs cooked on were converted 55 gallon drums or refrigerators or cowboy pits. Not, there are pellet cookers, gurus, etc. So...just so you and everyone else understands me, I'm all for lively debate, but when it comes to BBQ, I think using those words is out of line. We know how to cook BBQ better today than ever before because we tried new things and were open to doing them.

Dangerous?? :loony: Most people have the ability to make adult decisions based on what and how they read something. Then they have the ability to use their best judgement in making the final decision. What this causes is trial and error. They try it one way or use someone elses advice the first time. If they don't like it they try it a different way next time. Beginners need help from people who have experience with basically foolproof ways that will work for them. Brining is my way and like Jim said, try it both ways and judge for yourself.
