If your bark wasnt tasty enough then more rub is the answer but if it was the central meat that was a bit bland then an injection marinade will serve you better.
I have to admit I'm not a fan of pork shoulder unless I inject some flavour in there. I usually cook up a mixture of stock, fruit juice and rub then inject that.

Steve wrote:I do either apple juice or a 50/50 apple and cherry juice. I heat it up with a pork stock cube, some of my rub and a little extra sea salt and black pepper. Then I strain it through some muslin cloth and inject. Makes shoulder more enjoyable for me that's for sure.
