Thank you Dave! I think this part of the post says it all.
"At first sight it may seem that there is an excessive amount of nitrite in water. The answer is that only a small percentage will be absorbed by meat during the immersion process. "
When it says it will cure 100 lbs of meat it is referring to being mixed with ground meat! As stated above. brineing is subject to absorbtion of the brine in the SOLID piece of meat.
