When to Inject?

[dblbogey]

Have any of you had experience injecting at the foiling stage of smoking a butt? Was at a comp this weekend and noticed a fellow competitor smoking to whatever temp, then injecting, foiling, and then finish cooking. Any thoughts?

I never tried it. You can give it a shot and see if there will be any streaking in the meat. The cool liquid will cool the meat so it will require additional cook time. You will need to play around and see how to fits in your comp timing...JJ

I will try injecting this week but will do it the traditional way. Gonna do 2 butts. Think I'll use different injections and check out the difference. I'm gonna do one of them the "Chris Lilly" way.
