Injecting brisket

[fzxdoc]

LibertyJayHawk , I mix 1/4 cup Butcher's BBQ phosphate to 2 cups beef broth. I seldom use the whole 2 cups though. Usually a cup or a little more is plenty.

Kathryn,
How much phosphate do you add?
Thanks for the insight

fzxdoc Thanks, I'll check out that phosphate stuff. I'm supposed to reduce salt for medical reasons.

Murdy , I use homemade beef broth to which I have added some of Butcher's BBQ phosphate, which is their secret moisture-retaining ingredient. It's in their Brisket and also in their Prime Brisket Injection/Marinades. But because those marinades both contain so much salt, I prefer to add the phosphate myself to my own beef broth. Here's the link to the phosphate alone: https://www.butcherbbq.com/product-page/bbq-phosphate

Thank you so much!!!! That is exactly what I need to know!!

Do you use straight beef broth or is there more to it?

What Jerod said, especially with Butcher's BBQ Brisket Injection, which is quite salty but delicious.

That said, if I use my own low-sodium homemade beef broth, I dry brine overnight then inject not long before putting it in the smoker.

Inject with a salty solution the night before. Don't dry brine, you'll add too much salt.

The morning that I am going to start smoking it?

When do I inject my brisket, before or after dry brining?
