My sentiments exactly! I do process the meat as soon as possible, letting it cool overnight. Never brined anything other than a ham or two, and they turned out great if you like salty meat.

If I am going to process it myself, I let mine soak in plain old ice water for about a week in a 150qt ice chest till most of the blood is gone.
It's the other white meat
I also use lots more salt when cooking than I do venison or beef. Pork is very bland to me and needs more salt to bring out the flavor.

nope...

havent had a bad tasting hog yet! I grill it, or my wife slow cooks it in the crock pot or we put some in the frying pan... Its great!

No brine but I do use different marinates for the family
