Thanks Bill, much obliged if you could resend Super Dave's recipe.
The reason I'm asking about alternative methods is because I want to smoke a pork butt for Thanksgiving and I don't want it to be too BBQ-ey in flavor with the spices. I know the smoke will inherently make it taste BBQ-esque but I'd like to temper that down a bit.
Hey Gary, A pork butt for Thanksgiving, wow sounds good, I am leaning towards a turkey breast. I have the recipe for pork injection written down and here it is:
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp rub (your favorite will do)
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix all in large pan. Simmer until well dissolved. Fully cool and inject with 1/2 oz. per pound.
And for beef I use the following:
2 cans beef broth
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp better than bouillon beef base
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
Mix all in a large pan. Simmer until well dissolved. Fully cool and inject.
