Injection Solution Recommendations?

What you inject depends on what you are looking for. If you want Meat to taste like Meat, then Meat Broth with a bit of your Rub mixed in and some Umami enhancing ingredients like Soy Sauce, Worcestershire, Tomato Paste and Sauteed Mushrooms. Bring the whole deal to a simmer for 30 minutes, strain through a double layer of Cheese Cloth then cool below 40*F and inject with a multiport meat pump like the one from Morton's. Try 1Tbs of each item plus 4oz of sliced and Browned Mushrooms per Quart of Broth...

If you want other flavors then you are only limited by your imagination. You can use/combine Apple or other Fruit Juice, assorted Booze,Wine, your Rub, any of the above then inject that. It is a good idea to wash your meat down with Water and/or Vinegar and apply your Salty Rub before injecting. This will greatly reduce or eliminate surface Bacteria so there is little chance of contaminating the interior meat my pushing bacteria in with each injection...JJ

Hello Wellison,

I inject all my pork shoulders. I take about 1 cup of my rub and mix it with about 4 cups of apple juice for a 6lb roast. this seems to keep the meat really moist and gets that flavor down in the meat. I have done 20 lb pork shoulders that I injected almost a 1/4 gal of mix into. The best thing you can do is try different things until you get what you want.

Happy Smoking.

I mix my rub, apple juice, a little garlic, a little cyanne, and some of my bbq sauce then inject.  I inject all my pork butt will handle.  For my Brisket i use worchestershire and beef broth and a couple of teaspoons of bullion.
