Today, brining generally isn't necessary unless you plan on leaving smoked foods at room temperature for long periods.  It does however add a nice salty flavor to the meat, and sometimes too much if you don't rinse well.  Salty flavoring can be accomplished many ways without brining.

- Volite]]>cooking commentsRe: Turkey Brineshttp://www.bigoven.com/groups.aspxpickling salt and tender quick and pickle spice to brine a turkey???  sounds like the start of a cured bacon or jerky recipe

you might want to try plain ole Qt of apple juice, cup of sugar, and 3/4 of a cup of kosher salt....1/2 cup garlic powder, 1/2 cup onion powder, 1/4 cup of ancho chili powder.... throw a few sprigs of fresh rosemary in there

and make sure you bleach the cooler after you brine anything in it
