Anyone have a good brine recipe?

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anyone of you have a good brine recipe. I have made my own in the past for pheasant & fish but this time I want to brine & smoke some of this boar meat that my son & I got last weekend.

I'm looking forward to what you might want to share!

Thank you kindly,
Ron
