Default Brining Pork

I understand. I am using a very slow oven to cook boston butt (cycles
from 190 F. 220 F.) for eight hours or more. I assumed brining would be
a barrier against dehydration from the long cooking. Tonight I will cook
another boston butt unbrined and uncovered.

Thanks for the instructions.
