I have never tried injecting my butts before, but I am in the mood for something differnt. I'm looking for a good injection, any ideas? Thanks for the help?

I'm sorry, but there is no vaccine to cure this. You have to let the BBQ disease run its course.

Why not inject a little apple juice? Not sure how well that would work, but in the absence of other information, that's what I'd do. Maybe with a little ground thyme thrown in.

Chris Lilly's(Big Bob Gibson's) Pork Injection is a standard.

Pork injection
3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire

Makes enough for 2 8 lb. butts.

I brine my pork with water, applejuice, salt, and molasses. When I put it in the brine I inject it with the brine.

If anything...try basing it off of you taste.....the basic brine or injections always has SALT in it that's been dissolved in water or apple juice....some folk use other flavors that already have the salt incorporated into it...like Worchestershire or SOY sauce...etc.....and the other scope is ingredients that break down meat a bit...Like Lemon\Lime Juice (acid)...just as long as you don't let it sit in it too long...lol....than ur sweets...like sugar\brown sgr\molasses\karo syrup\honey....fruits flavors & liquor flavors(bourbon\rum)...good luck

I use an injection and I do love the results:

1 cup Apple Juice
1 cup Apple Cider vinegar
1/2 cup Dale's Low sodium ( the green bottle)
3 tablespoons of pickle juice ( I use dill pickles.)
1 tablespoon Texas Pete
and upon occasion I use some beer usually an import.

I lke to use Cherry Dr. Pepper. It doesn't end up tatsting like Cherry Dr. Pepper. Its like coating with mustard where the mustard ends up providing a different taste other then the mustard flavor.

Here is my recipe

Strait from the pot does it taste salty? I can smell the apple juice but all I taste is salt.
