When you inject the meat. What do you inject it with and how much?

 

[smokey steve]

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.

Thanks, have always been interested in trying an injected shoulder just never have. Will have to try this on the next shoulder I do

 

[smokey steve]

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?

That looks Great Steve, by the way I tried your Mustard Sauce on the
chickens I did this past weekend, it was great. Thanks

 

[crownovercoke]

Wow!!! looks grrrrrreat

!!!! I am smoking up two kinds of spares on the 4th. That I got from my local Apple market 1.29/lb. bulk price. One is marinadeing in honey, mustard, and a sweet mesquite rub. The other is marinading in Honey and Clydes brisket marinade...( this stuff if you can find it is amazing!!!

)

 

[smokey steve]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the sauce my man.


Will post the rest of the butt pics tomorrow Ya'll.....nap time

 

[smokey steve]

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
