Original Pork Injection Marinade — Butcher BBQ

Juicy, Flavorful Pork Starts Before the Smoke

Great pulled pork isn't just about the rub or the smoker. It's about seasoning the meat all the way through.

Butcher BBQ Original Pork Injection Marinade is a powdered pork injection developed to bring savory flavor into the meat and help it retain moisture during cooking.

Whether you're smoking pork shoulder, preparing competition pulled pork, or grilling a pork loin, this formula helps you build flavor beneath the surface, where a dry rub alone cannot reach.

How to Mix & Inject
Butcher BBQ Pork Injection Marinade

Mix ¾ cup of dry Pork Injection powder with 16 fluid ounces (2 cups) of water or other suitable liquid.

For a different flavor profile, replace up to half the water with apple juice, another fruit juice, or vegetable broth.

Stir until the powder dissolves before filling your meat injector.

How to Inject Pork Shoulder or Pork Loin

  1. Fully thaw the meat and prepare the injection mixture.
  2. Insert the needle into the thickest portions of the pork, reaching toward the center.
  3. Inject slowly and evenly, spacing injection points across the cut.
  4. Season the exterior with your favorite Butcher BBQ pork rub.
  5. Keep the injected pork refrigerated until it's time to cook.

Use a food thermometer and cook to a safe temperature appropriate for the cut. For pork loin and chops, the USDA minimum is 145°F with a three-minute rest.

Pitside Answers

Ask the Pitmaster

What cooks ask us most about Pork Injection Marinade, answered straight from the pit.

What is Butcher BBQ Original Pork Injection Marinade?

It is a powdered pork injection mix designed to season pork beneath the surface and support moisture retention during smoking or grilling.

How much Original Pork Injection do I mix with water?

Mix ¾ cup of dry Butcher BBQ Pork Injection powder with 16 fluid ounces (2 cups) of water or another suitable liquid. Stir until dissolved before injecting.

Can I mix pork injection with apple juice?

Yes. Butcher BBQ recommends replacing up to half the water with fruit juice or another suitable liquid. Apple juice is an option for a sweeter flavor profile.

Should I inject pork shoulder before smoking it?

Injecting is optional, but it can help distribute savory seasoning through thick pork shoulder and support moisture retention during cooking.

How do I inject a pork shoulder?

Insert the injector needle into the thickest portions of the shoulder, reaching toward the center. Inject slowly at evenly spaced points, allowing the solution to distribute through the meat.

Can I use Original Pork Injection on pork loin and chops?

Yes. The formula can be used on pork loin and thicker pork chops. Inject evenly and avoid overfilling smaller cuts. Cook whole-cut pork to at least 145°F and rest for three minutes.

Does Original Pork Injection contain MSG or soy?

Yes. The ingredient list includes monosodium glutamate (MSG) and hydrolyzed soy protein. Check the package before use if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.

What is the difference between pork injection and pork brine?

Injection delivers seasoning liquid directly into the interior of the meat using a needle. Brining relies on soaking meat in a seasoned liquid over time. Both can add flavor and affect moisture retention.

Can I use Original Pork Injection on wild hog?

The formula is intended for pork, so it may also be suitable for wild hog. Follow appropriate wild-game handling and cooking safety guidance.
