Overnight Marinating

[Nick Cosby]

I am wondering how big of a difference it makes on a Butt or any piece of pork to Rub or marinate then throw into fridge or cooler overnight or for 24hrs.

Depends on what is in the marinade.

how bout doing a pork rub on a butt?

I consider marinades acid based and brines salt based. I find brines make more of a difference than marinades.

I marinade mainly to help tenderize. A butt does not need it. A good rub is all it needs.

I love to marinade thinner cuts such as chops or tenderloin. Salad dressings work exceptionally well for that too, for a Butt just rub it and/or inject it. A marinade alone will not penetrate it.
