I'm doing a Pork Butt on Saturday and I was sitting here thinking about when I was going to inject. I always inject before I go to bed and start cooking the next morning. So the injection is in the meat 8-10 hours before it goes on the cooker. Since it's something I just do automatically I was wondering why? I got on the computer and did a search for how early to inject a butt. The very first item that came up was a TVWBB thread so I read it. Someone had posted the question and several folks explained how early and why. Then I noticed the name of the person that posted the question. DUH!!!!
7 years ago that was one of my first 20 questions on this forum. Here it is. "Sunday I'm cooking an 8.5 LB. Butt and will inject it with Chris Lilly's inject. SWMBO prefers injected pulled pork. Thinking about the cook, engineer mentality , I'm wondering how far in advance I can inject the Butt. Is it safe to inject 36 hrs. in advance?" The advice I got was 12 hours max.
I'm getting old folks.
