Brisket Injection

[gratefuleater]

I am smoking a 15 lb packer tonight. I salted the brisket and will start smoking in about 10 more hours. I plan on injecting with beef broth. Should I do that now or later before the dry rub?

[Jerod Broussard]

How much salt did you put on the brisket?

[gratefuleater]

I did not measure the salt. A good salt all around for a brine. More than a normal salting for cooking.

[Jerod Broussard]

You might be "over salting" if you inject beef broth too.

[gratefuleater]

I will be using low sodium broth. But thanks for the tip.

I have never injected my briskets on my stick burner as i cook it at 225 to 250 and it is always very juicy. Though I have killed a couple of briskets on my weber because of a higher temp. where an injection would have saved the brisket/shoe leather.

[Jerod Broussard]

I had dried out shoe leather on a Prime flat that was injected and smoked at 225. Overcooked is overcooked.

I did my first injection last weekend and it turn out to be the best brisket so far. I used Butcher's prime brisket injection mix with beef broth.

I've never injected anything I cook. Never had an issue with it being dry unless I overcooked.

Maybe not dry but what about more moistness!

[ecowper]

More moistness? That would be like eating soup!

[DWCowles]

I never had an issue with my briskets being dry either. I like to experiment with different stuff every now and then.

Me, neither, although I do poke me some fork-holes in some meats, before I marinade, to let the goodness penetrate.

[Mr. Bones]

Gots me a Backyard Grill marinade injector, and, from all outward appearances, it's everything one could possibly hope for, in a marinade injector made in china, and distributed by wally world.

So far, it has been just a dust-catcher, prolly 'cause I ain't run into a dry meat issue, (yet)
(Impulse buy, heerd ya' jus' gotta have one!!

Ain't even opened the plastic yet...prolly been two-three months ago I bought it!

Just sayin'

[EdF]

Ya, similar here, except it's been used once in 2 years.

[DWCowles]

ecowper here's what my soup look like after the injection.

[Mr. Bones]

Looks like some Dam* Fine 'Soup', there!

Enviable Smoke Ring!!!

I ain't 'again''' injected, just never, so far, found a compelling reason to do so.

I will have to experiment, see what results I achieve... once I blow/rinse the dust off the package, for safety's sake... 8-p

Great looking brisket. I'd come over for dinner
