Tell me I’m wrong on th pork butt

Captnrontx

Did two pork butts today, one injected the other not. The one that I injected had some mushy spots. I have never injected a pork butt and this was a test.  I’m am in the no-injection camp

I'm also in the no injection camp.  Never found enough difference to warrant the effort. Juice isn't worth the squeeze to me.

I’ll do it for competition, I have had an issue with Butcher BBQ before , what did you mix with ? Anything acidic?But I rarely if ever do it on a regular cook

I'm assuming you are trying to make pulled pork?

Did you foil wrap or not?

I've never injected one either.    I usually run around 250F on butts with the fattiest portion on top to render down then pull at 205F IT, wrap and cooler for a couple hours.    Never had a noticeable issue.

I’ve injected pork butts with a teriyaki marinade and have had them turn out great.  That’s my standard go to, particularly when I do a modified turbo (low and slow to the stall, then wrapped in foil with a big temp bump).

I appreciate the wokeness of "modified turbo".  "Texas crutch" is pretty offensive.

What a clown you are sometimes.

As I understand it, when people say they're doing a "turbo butt" it means the temp is pretty high from the jump.  That's not what I'm doing.  I'm only increasing the temp after wrapping in foil.  So the use of "modified" here is a reference to the approach on temperature, not the use of foil.

Not a tux.  That is crazy.  It was just a suit. (I didn't own a tux then)
