injecting a pork butt

[roughnek]

Need some injecting ideas .  Thought about apple juice with my rub mixed in. I am open for ideas

[Ka Honu]

I use Carolina Treet.

i use a mix of apple juice and jack daniels, it's pretty awesome, also have a spray bottle with it for during the smoke.

I don't inject at all.  Have never seen a reason to inject nor the necessity to inject as a butt should have plenty of moisture within already.

But that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla!  To each his own. ;)

I like chocolate and vanilla :D

I use Chris Lilly's recipes with a few tweaks

This is enough for about a 14-16lbs butt
3/4 cup Apple Juice
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Table Salt
2 Tb Worcestershire

I this makes the flavor pop big time. Now I know why he is a six time world champion

Oh ya, don't forget the vinegar / cayenne finish sauce as well...

Same here except I found it too salty.  I use 1/8 cup course sea salt which would be less than 1/8 cup table salt.  More often than not I will replace the water with dark beer mixed with pork stock.

Pachanga I agree with it very salty. I end up drinking a gallon of water and dry mouth in the middle of the night. I cut down the salt as well.

I have to try it with beer instead of water.

You guys are injecting brines.  Of course it's going to be salty.

[pensrock]

I have injected with CT as well, not so much for the moisture but to get more flavor deep inside.

[sage03]

I'm liking the Jack and apple juice....or was it apple juice and Jack???!!! ;D

Exactly!

Oh Wise Turtle, you make a great point. Your comment is correct.  With that amount of salt, it is exactly that; a brine.  However..........

Mr. Lilly calls this a quicky brine and claims it is his injection winner.  I am not so sure he is sharing all of his secrets and exact proportions but it is a good starting point.  After cutting the salt down to a reasonable amount, it is more than excellent.

That said, I will always defer to the Wise, Astute and Clever Turtle when talking about salty brine;  after all he is surrounded by the stuff in his heavenly paradise on the Islands.
