One nice surprise from this adventure was finding out that Lowe's sells food-grade buckets. The turkey brining bag I was using left part of the pork leg sticking out of the brine, but the 5 gallon bucket I got at Lowe's worked perfectly. I just had to put a heavy bowl on top of the pork leg to keep it submerged. In the summer these buckets will get a lot of use hauling salmon up from the fishing dock and then later for brining the fish before smoking it. I might might also use one of them soon to try and make some beef jerky.
