I am part of a BBQ team for a contest in September. My assignment on the team is to cook the pork butt for the contest. I have cooked many pork butts for family and friends. My question is what do you guys do differently to your pork butts when you are cooking for a contest. Any tips or recipes you are willing to share?
 
Sometimes, depending on who the judges are, I'll oversmoke slightly just
to make sure they can taste and distinguish the smoke. I also inject.
I truly believe that you rub sauce and choice of smoke woods need to
all work together.

Care to share with what you inject it with?

I inject in comps as well. My scores got better when I did. I use the Lilly's injection sauce as well.

Does that mean if you win, Chris Lilly won for you? Make your own boy! 8-[

Careful. Careful. Careful.[/quote:2jplejr5]

I tried to make a girl one time. It's harder to keep the parts connected than you would think. 8-[

I would incorporate the injection with the rub you are using for your pork....

You're thinking this way to hard.

The injection is super simple. Look at the ingredients. Anything you put together will go with that mix. I like to go with the KISS methods. In fact as a rule I use Sam's Garlic Pepper Blend on most of my larger pork cuts.


Good Q!

The KISS method works for most people. I'm a rocket scientist you know. Why do something simple when you can do it the hard way?[/quote:3lpfhsas]

No kidding, cliff h. is proof of that......
