When to inject?

for butts I pump that farker as plump as I can get it right before cooking. When it gets done weeping I rub heavily and throw it on.

<edit> there really was no double entendre' intended here

If you want to cut down on the leakage you can wrap the butts tightly in plastic wrap, buy I really do not get that much leakage. I put the meat in a plastic garbage bag & try to get as much air out as possible & tie it tight.
 
For a comp, can you inject the cryovac prior to meat inspection?
