Alright, I went to pull some frozen Pulled Pig out for the dinner and I'm almost out. <And I have no idea how to be fair!> Looks like I got maybe 3-4 pounds of my Kalua pork left and thats it. So it's time for another pork butt to restock..
Now I have -never- really injected meat, unless shoving things inside a chicken counts, but I was thinking of swinging over to fleet farm when I go out shopping to snag 5 dollar injector needle or one of those marinades that comes with an injector.
My question is... is injecting pulled pork worth it? I mean I've seen the dr pepper injected pulled pork etc. Keep in mind, I liberally apply rub to meat, and I can't taste the rub, it to me is just a way to make a good bark. So I'm wondering if Injecting would let me taste flavours better.
But I also don't want to go and make up a batch of some marinade and it ends up wasted if pulled pork doesn't really carry the flavours.
