Pork shoulder idea

[Paddlinpaul]

Hi everyone. Long time no post for me. Following things on Facebook a bit but haven't dropped in here for a while.

I am smoking a whole pork shoulder next weekend for a birthday party at a friend's house. I have done a few before to rave reviews but am always wanting to try something new. Last big do I did one I tried different sauces and the Carolina Treet seemed to be the most popular. I was told to go real easy with it because it is a strong flavor. Would it be to much to inject it in the meat with the Treet the night before smoking?
I usually cut the shoulder in 2 (butt and picnic), rub it down and put on separate racks in the Bradley. I smoke 4-6 hours and then cook to an IT of 190 at 210-225F.
If injecting would be too much with the Treet, what is the best way to use it. While smoking or splash it on after pulling?

I've only used it once on a butt, I injected it.
IMHO I think that putting it in after pulling might be a bit strong and kill your smoke butt flavor.

Carolina Treet is NOT a dipping sauce; it's designed to be cooked.  Injection works very well - when I'm using it for a butt, I inject and rub the night before.

I have injected pork butts with it before and its real good.

Thanks folks. Injecting it will be. I will also rub it with it instead of dry rubbing.
