Hey folks, Im new to the board (and competition BBQ) and hoping to get some tips for an upcoming competition here in Mississippi..
Do any of you inject your Butt? If so, what is a simple mix to use?
Thanks in advance..
 
Apple juice with a little bit of your rub finely ground in.
 
Chris Lilly's Six-Time World Championship Pork Shoulder Injection

3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup table salt
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
 
You might look at trying Stubb's Pork Marinade cut 50/50 with apple juice.
 
Thanks for the tips folks.. Looking forward to trying some of them.
The competition is called "Que on the Yazoo"
 
Thanks! the entire weekend event is a blast! There are some good teams competing.. Our team (New Pigs On The Block) won't likely be anywhere near the top but we sure have a good time! You guys should look into signing up next year! Link for more info below...

Not every competitor injects, but I think a huge majority do. Of those that do, I think there's probably another 50-80% of them that use their own variation on this above.

The simplest is just apple juice, some worchestershire, and some of your rub ground up fine. Right there is probably 25%. Mind you, everyone uses a different rub, and varying amounts of above, and varying amount of time they inject before they put the meat on the smoker, so they taste quite different. Add in different woods, cook temps, smoke, etc. and even if they used the exact same recipe they'd still taste fairly different.
