I put the shoulder on the wsm at 5am. let it sit and pulled it off the wsm at 5pm. wrapped it in foil and a towel and put it in a coolerfor an hour then pulled it apart. i am very happy with how it turned out. it was very moist and pulled aprt very easy.everyone liked it. next time i wanna try and injection anyone have good ideas

Hey Trevor,

First attempt at boston butt looked mighty fine! Good pictures too.
The injection recipe Travis posted you is about as good as you'll find and easy to make. Some folks throw a tablespoon of their favorite rub in the injection, but you need to have a needle big enough to allow the spices in the rub to pass thru. Sticking with a Chris Lilly recipe is a winner for sure.
Was curious why you trussed the butt with twine? I have trussed while experimenting taking the shoulder blade bone out, but it seems you left the bone in. Just curious?
Leaving the bone in has many advantages, and I was not pleased with the butt when I experimented and boned it out before cooking.
Welcome to the great smokey world of wsm enthusiasts!
 
injection Cris L way:
3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire

Tasty and works great with Butts

Sauce #5
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce
1 tablespoon rub

Opional but v. good: 1/4 cup meat drippings
(whats left in the foil after the rest)

Simmer to marry the flavors and thicken as desired.
