Cheech, I usually go with my old faithful never lets me down kinda injection which consists of apple cider, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar sometimes a little allspice. And the amount, I try and stay around 5 to 10 cc's at a time working my all around the shoulder or butt, so after its all said and down I get about a half a cup or more in there depending on the size of the meat.

Temp up to 160 time for foil.







I Used cherry and maple chips for flavor......usually I get a nice reddish colored tint to the bark but this one I knew I wasn't gonna get there with this one, so I decided to take some applesauce and cinnamon diluted it down with apple cider to make kinda as emril would say a slurry, and I glazed that on for the past couple hours. First time for everything.

Why cant i get my smilies to work?

Well here is the finished product. I pulled it last night around 3:30 and put it away for easy reheating.... From the sampling I did it was very moist not greasy and has great smokey flavor...all in all another one bites the dust.



HAPPY 4TH EVERYBODY

I always separate the bark.....its the secret ingredient in the beans...SHHH don't tell....lol









I think I might have a couple pics left in me before they day is over.

Enjoy your day and be safe Ya'll
