We've got a good, slightly spicy rub for our butts, but have a customer who wants it spicier. What would any of you suggest for an injection or whatever to give it an extra "kick"? We use mostly hickory on an FEC100 at 240 for 8-10 hours and have injected with apple juice with success. We don't want to end up with "pockets" of spicy from the injection, but don't know how else to get the meat spicier without lots of sauce (they're not sauce people - that would be too easy).

TIA - Doug

What works great, did this for Christmas, was use Crab Boil and injected it into Turkey... You can also just make up a spicy injection. CB is pretty cost effective if you dilute it and buy in bulk, so look at the added cost.

Also, if he wants it spicier, just sprinkle more rub on it after pulling

Also, add some different heat (try some of the smoke chipotle rubs out there, they've VERY spicy).

White pepper works well also.

Try the best spicy ever made for BBQ and massage the meat with some wet Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (wear gloves). Rub/massage it it real good. The more you use and the longer it sits, the spicier and more tender the meat and the more the flavor permeates the meat. It will also give your meat a darker bark. Remember most jerk rubs contain salt.
