Injection recipes for a Butt?

OLD NORTH STATE BBQ CO.

Cooking another butt tonight, and was thinking about trying something a little different just to change things up.  I've been injecting with creole butter, which has yielded some great results.  Anybody else have a killer recipe they wouldn't mind sharing?  Sure would appreciate it.

i use a vinegar sauc, the one on the elderward tutorial on the naked whiz site every so often. i dont inject before the cook, i wait for the plataue and inject then in the egg, no need to mess up the house and you get more in once its warmed up. i heat the liquid up a little for the injection as well, not boiling hot

its more in line with a whole hog cook to inject during the cook but works with a butt, probably better with a whole shoulder with the different tasting meat groups

Makes sense, plus it's something i've never tried before so gotta get on it.

I tried Chris Lillys injection....didn't notice much of a difference in flavor or moisture. Might try that creole butter idea.

For injectors-a trick I read about quite a while ago (if you want to minimize the spillage) is to cover the meat with a saran wrap material and inject through the wrap.  Really does manage to keep the liquid confined.

I've been using the pork injection from Butcher BBQ and really like it.  I mix the concentrate with half water and half Dr. Pepper.

Dr pepper injection sounds awesome. I have my recipe at home. Will try to remember to post this evening.

What is creole butter?

What is creole butter?

Creole Butter is an injectable marinade you can get at the grocery store. I believe its made by "Injectable Marinades."  A few years ago, you could only really find it around thanksgiving, but our Kroger carries it year round.  It even comes with a disposable injector.  The Creole Butter adds a nice subtle flavor to your pork, but more importantly really keeps the chopped pork from drying out, especially when reheating it a few days later.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Cool, thank you. Might try that sometime.

It's good but can be overpowering in large doses. Kind of has a "fakey" salty butter flavor with some cajun spices so it you go overboard it can overpower the meat with synthetic flavor. I've never used it on a butt but have it on turkey every year. My bro in law does it right so I kind of like it but if you get too much in one bite it's too strong for me.
