Hey Bill,
I was spooked from the high sodium content in the commercial rub that I used in my inaugural smoking of some baby back ribs so I was a little conservative with the salt in the injection, relying primarily on the chicken broth for the salt.  It could've used a bit more, for flavor and juiciness but it was still tender.
Think I'm going to try a brine with the 2nd one for Thanksgiving.

Hey Gary, would love to brine some of the meats that I smoke. But, last summer had to purchase a new fridge and the wife picked out a large whirlpool with french doors and a third drawer. And actually very little room, I am thinking of getting a small fridge just for that purpose. As I want to brine briskets and other large cuts of beef.
