Help my Kosmos pork injection all hard

[binnesman]

Came home from work and went to grab my Kosmos pork injection all hard and color looks off. Any suggestions on what I can do for a last minute injection butts going on at 2 am and all the bbq shops here closed already.

Does it smell off? How old is it? Lots of rubs, ect will harden over time. The more sugars the faster it will happen. Could always buzz it back to powder in a blender of food processor.

Yeah did that looks to have black spec in it could be seasoning. Never looked at it that close till felt it was hard. It expires in July 28th been open for 6 months or so first smoke of the year. Use it or not?

It's not mandatory to inject... I don't ... I just add a lil finishing sauce after pulling...

Yeah I wrap in foil with butter honey and rub then pour the juices back into the pork and mix after I pull it.

^^^ What Keith said… I as well do not inject! The finishing sauce can take it to another level when ya add it as you pull!

^^^ That! Not worth getting you, your fam or guests sick! Sometimes the walk to the dumpster hurts…. I’ve done that more times than I’d like to admit…. But, we learn from our mistakes… at least I’d like to think I do…

I quit using Kosmo because of this. I found it hardens easily and doesn't mix very well. Others don't seem to have those problems. I use Butcher BBQ injects now when I do use a commercial solution with phosphates.
