I have used Coke in the water pan for a turkey. It really did infuse in the meat! I was impressed. I am sure that DP would add flavor too, but it would have to work pretty hard to compete with the strong flavor of pork.
I recommend you search for SoFlaQers Finishing Sauce. It is amazing on pulled pork. I won't make pulled pork without it anymore.
I have never marinated with it but Ive used it for teh liquid when I foil ribs and its good there...Try it and see just make sure to post yur thoughts on it and how it worked...
i do not use dr. pepper as a marinade, but i can promise you it will make an excellent ingredient for a mop.
the mop i use, which is good on all meats but seems especially suited to pork, is this:
1 cup dr. pepper
2/3 cup LOW SODIUM soy sauce
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
run this through a blender each time before you use it in order to emulsify the oil into the mop, then spray on with a spray bottle OR mop on with a brush or mop. do this about once every 45 minutes-to-an-hour after the first two hours of barbecuing.
