Editor's note: Use this injection to make Myron Mixon's Pork Shoulder . You can make your hog injection in a large quantity and use as much as you need, depending on whether your smoking a whole hog or a shoulder; it's easy to make a lot at once because you can keep whatever's left in the refrigerator for up to a year. That's the way I do it at home, too.
