    Anyone ever used anything else but honey in the Honey Brine recipe st the web site? I was thinking of trying cane syrup. I hate to sound cheap,but honey seems to be expensive considering you just throw it away when done.

    Where to Start

    Strange as it may seem,I vote for split whole chickens as a maiden voyage. The"Let's Cook" section of the website has good info about the prep/cooking of birds. They cook in a reasonable length of time,they are tasty and they are cheap (in case it doesn't turn out)

    Cutting ham

    I ordered a ham curing kit from Allied-Kenco there in Houston. It has two packs of seasoning, one for injection and one for emersion brining. So I guess it's "semi-traditional" if that term exists. I wasn't concerned about it but my wife started worrying so I told the slaughterhouse to leave...
