....for all of us Injectors.
Have you ever notice, that when you inject, that it doesn't seem to stay as intense a flavor as when you made the injection and tasted it.
Here's why, and it's my theory. Just like everything else in life, the "fruit" juices we use are more and more water and less and less flavor. I'd say many of them are 90% or more water.
So, here's what I've done, and it's my theory, so give me credit, so there
Don't use any Fruit Juice that isn't 100% or close. AND, before you inject, boil the solution to reduce and concentrate the flavor and let some of the water evaporate. The water is going to evaporate inside the butt anyway during the cook, that's why there isn't much flavor many times, after you inject...it seems to evaporate --- hmmmmmm.
For your next butt, try and injection with this "intense" and add your flavors, and inject your butts with as much as you think.
And you can do this with any solution, even the Butt mops I've posted. Just remember, if the key ingredient you are using has a lot of water in it, evaporate the water first.
Make sense?
Come on some of you experimenters out there, try it and let me know what you think.
p.s. The story is based on a real life epiphany I had with a Memphis in May team that was having difficulty with their injection methods -- not any more
