The last couple I have done, I did away with the brine and just injected. I mixed apple juice and melted butter and some of the rub (Famous Dave's rib rub). I have a magic bullet mixer that I put the rub in to make it a finer texture to get through the syringe. They have turned out great this way. Great flavor all the way through.

Mike,

Until I bought this smoker, I always just injected, but adding the brine at least for me takes it to a new level.

When you have a 10 lb. pork butt (at least in our house) there is always leftovers. My last smoke, I made burritos with the leftover pork and they turned out great.

This time I shared some with the neighbors and we had some leftovers tonight. I reheated the pork in the oven with a bit of apple juice and water. Overall still a good dinner, but the smoke level taste increased and in the end you can not beat fresh pulled pork (brisket another story... ).

Greg,
If you haven't tried the pulled pork spaghetti yet, you owe it to yourself to do it once.

Dave,

I never heard of it before, but it sounds good.
