Injecting a butt

Dawgtired

I usually just follow Elder Ward’s method/rub and don’t inject. Curious if I’m missing out by not doing so. Thank y’all!

sometimes i inject his traditional sauce, gives it more a whole hog cook flavor. i inject when its over 160 internal and inject it in the egg where mess isnt a problem, keeps things simple. have done the same with low and slow turkeys for pulled turkey sandwiches, even better

I’ve used Chris Lilly’s injection recipe before. Not sure if it made a difference other than adding time to the cook.

I’ll do a phosphate of some kind , definitely noticeable but not a game changer unless you are going for the One Bite Competition Taste

Thanks for the comments! I’ve injected some poultry in the past but I only created a finite line of the liquid.

I follow Myron Mixon's method and inject my butts the day before then put them on in the morning at 250* in a pan. Let the cook for three hours then cover the pan and lt them cook until the reach 205*. Take them off and let them rest for 30 min. then pull the with two forks.

He must be busy hanging with Beulah. Probably eating egg rolls.

I looked up injecting a butt on the interwebs and all I can say is its best to get a butt that still has the legs attached, cuz apparently you need to hold onto the legs to stop the butt from wiggling right off the bed.
