if you are brining, inject after brining. I've heard of people injecting the brine...I've brined, but haven't injected brine, myself. I've made my own mixture like the Cajun Injector creole butter or the garlic and herb and they've turned out well (but it is easier to buy a jar of premixed). I've also used juices (apple, mandarin orange, pineapple) with good results. as of late, my go to has been apple cider vinegar added to whatever mix I use. whatever you inject with, save some for basting or squirting out of a spray bottle during the smoke.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

What is the purpose of injecting? I’ve never had a butt that I smoked right and thought “this could be juicier.” Is it for flavor? that's what I understand...to get veins of flavor in the meat that supposedly work their way through the meat as it cooks. most of my flavor veins (when I injected a piece of meat) stay in the vein and don't ever work their way out.

I had a guy that owned a BBQ joint in Hattiesburg give me the following recipe: Strain a bottle of zesty italian dressing. Mix strained dressing juice 50/50 with your favorite beer and inject. Take the veggie pieces you strained from dressing and mix with yellow mustard, coat entire outside of butt with veggie/mustard mixture. Coat generously with your favorite rub. I've done this several times, always good.

I dry rub for 48-72hrs in advance and smoke at around 250°-275°. Whether I'm doing pulled pork or just to slice one up I've never had to inject it and it's always been juicy and full of flavor. Here lately I've been on pork loin kick for pulled pork and smoke it the same way and turns out very nice also.

It’s about like foiling vs not foiling, fat cap up vs fat cap down. Some folks do it some don’t. I’ve never done it. Smoking two butts for a get together Saturday night and I can’t wait. Thats another good debate lol. Sometimes I foil but I always do fat cap up

When I inject a butt, I use the one below. It is supposedly Chris Lilly's (from Bob Gibson BBQ) recipe. It says it's enough for a 16 pound shoulder but I usually put most if not all of it in an 10 lb butt.
•3/4 cup apple juice •1/2 cup water •1/2 cup sugar •1/4 cup salt •2 tablespoons Worcestershire
I'm gonna give this a try
