I learned about brining in 2007 after THESE professionals taste-tested FORTY turkeys.

Sometimes I'll buy a turkey boob and brine that. Or try a big pork loin -- that'll convert you for sure.
First time I ate wild piggie I was guiding for elk on a late-season hunt in eastern Oregon and this GREAT client from northern California brought me a brined and cold-smoked ham from his ranch. I about passed out it was so good and I wouldn't even share any more than a bite for each of the other...
"or some form of liquid in the smoker."
Beer or apple juice (or cider) is a great option.
The key to all this is the BRINING.
If you're going to add spices to the brine, try sage and black pepper and a little allspice. Juniper berries if you have some.
Great suggestions above; here's another. Contact any smokejumper base and ask them. Those guys SEW PARACHUTES and gear bags all the time and they are experts. They can tell you about machines and sources.

People online were arguing about what that gun is and whether it's an exploding target (it's not) or incendiary shells (yes) or incendiary bullets (nope) and whether it's some special military automatic weapon or what. I'm sorry you don't like how I described his shotgun. Feel free to use the...

THANKS, both, I told them a slug (e.g. Midwest cornfield whitetail) is still not a bullet. BUT YOU CAN find brass shells on the ground (!!!) which is not a shotgun shell.
THANK YOU K1United, that is exactly what I'm looking for. The other editor here thinks "bullets" and "shells" are interchangeable and I say no, it's one or the other, and this was NOT bullets! (sheeeesh)
There are different approaches to using this stuff, but I smash it up with olive oil or canola oil and an equal volume of fresh lime juice (or orange), and add more of the achiote powder as necessary till you have a thick paste. Look for cochinita pibil recipes and you'll get the idea.
