I’ve played around with a meat injector and it worked good to get spices into the butt, but it broke and the verdict is still out. The injector did a good job getting some red pepper flake infused vinegar into the meat and that did for sure made a positive difference.

Tying the butt is the only thing I would recommend to you that looks like was not done.
Thanks for the info, how do you tie the butt?
