This weekend my wife and I went to my dads (side note, she is a vegetarian!!) and I had a ball smoking a boston butt and a whole chicken.
The Butt was injected with Dr Pepper for 2 1/2 hours then dry rubbed with mojito lime McCormick rubs and a little mixes here and there from other rubs you can find here. Let it sit over night until the smoke began at 8am, I originally planned to smoke @ 5am but being in Normandy, the rain and cold was a bummer and I went back to bed (I know, I know, rookie) after about 8 hours I reinjected with some local apple juice I was using to spritz it with.
The chicken was brined and injected with chicken stalk, beer, sauteed onions, lots of salt and garlic and a lemon over night. When I got up I dry rubbed it with the same rub as the pork, it came out pretty good but a little dry.
The one lesson I learned HARD is never cook chicken and pork in the same smoker, you cant do poultry low and slow so I had to wrap the butt in foil WAY too soon and longer than I wanted.
In the end I was pretty happy with the butt, I brought it over to my step moms ultra bourgeoise friends whom never had pulled pork before - big hit - but I should have done a finishing sauce.

You can do chicken low and slow just don't expect the skin to be edible ;)
So what did you think of the Dr.Pepper injection?
There are some good BBQ sauces made with Dr.Pepper like Hubba Bubba's. I believe the recipe is in the sauce section.

Nice job!
A good cigar once in a while is a nice treat.

I thought that you were talking about the New York Giants Football Team. You know, the one that defeated SF 49 ers, a couple of years ago and went on to win the Championship.
And, I was really becoming impressed by you.

I am a big fan of Dr pepper injections. Just not with beef, it can/will ruin the flavor. I use it in just about every thing else. Another good one is cherry coke or ginger beer
