Injections aid in breaking down tendons and fat. They do not toughen meat.That subject is contested even among Chefs. One side says, Acid cooks meat like in Seafood Seviche, and therefore can toughen meat. Others argue that Acid breaks down protein making it a good tenderizer. I have not injected Butts because I have found no need to. I do use a vinegar based finishing sauce but that is for flavor. Get yourself a big Pork Butt and cut it in half. Inject one with the vinegar juice mix, and the other with just juice. Smoke them and compare results. The other option, if you are happy with the results you get, don't change a thing...JJ
