I'm doing some pulled pork for a party this weekend, probably a
couple 8-9lb butts. I've always done them with just a mustard
slather and then my own rub, but I think I'd like to try injecting
them. Not sure exactly what with though. I'm thinking maybe some
peach juice with some of my rub mixed in, getting the flavor of the
rub cooked in with the meat internally. Any thoughts?



injecting pork helps the flavour a bunch--imo anyway. Usually use a
modified Chris Lily injection on butts at contests--with decent
results

Our injections on contest meat make the pork taste hammy.... great if you
want it that way I guess so I finally talked my partner into cutting back
on
it. What is a Chris Lily injection?

this is Chris's basic recipe
Pork injection
3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire

In a contest only got one--maybe two bites to get the judges
attention---salt works, sweet works---tasted some of the entries at the Butt
to Butt a few times and they were sweet ham kinda anyway!
Cooking at home is different for sure but contests are about getting your
name called last!!
