Brine: Half cup of hot water, fill with salt until you get ¾ cup. 4 tbsp each ground pepper and garlic powder.  Brine for 4 hours minimum. I put a little brown sugar on before smoking. Baste a couple times with maple syrup. 4 hours of smoke (with apple or cherry—no mesquite) or until internal temp reaches 140-150°F.   There is a website called amazingribs which is a nerdy smoker website mostly about gear, but they have posted a bunch of great smoking recipes.” Thanks Al!
