Pork Butt Injection Recipe

[excusame]

My Smoking Brothers.....looking for a good injection recipe for a 9 pound pork butt. I'd prefer not to "experiment" with a recipe I randomly pull off the internet. No fears about trying one out from this site.

I'll have to let some others weight in, I don't inject pork butt.  They seem to stay plenty moist without.

I agree with you that the meat is moist. I'm just experimenting with different flavor profiles.

Tony C's butter & jalapeno injectable marinade.

Walmart usually carries it.

I go straight apple juice. Stay away from anything acid
Vinager or pineapple juice. It will make the meat mushy

If I'm going to inject, I simmer some of the rub in apple juice for a few minutes, cool it down in the fridge and use that as an injection.

 

[smokebuzz]

equal parts, Pineapple juice, Kahlua, and Malibu rum.... add a little rub to it, let set for an hour before injecting.
