I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.
Anyone a member of the KC Barbecue Society? Thinking about paying the $40 yearly fee because one of the perks is unlimited day passes to restaurant depot. [Reply]

I went and had the butcher show me the details in my local club.
Sams are chuck and they are choice but at $7 pound.... I'm looking at Costco over the weekend.

Been a member forever...
Restaurant Depot can only be beat by a pork and a beef sponsorship..... then there's all the other great stuff there.
The rest of what you get for $40 is worth the money.. [Reply]

Did you mop or spray during the cook? What temp you pull it at? First couple of briskets were tough or dry. I think I didn't cook the first one long enough. Last few times I've used butcher paper and they came out better. It takes so long for my electric smoker to recover if I were to try to spray it.
I've decided to go with the stampede per your suggestion btw, any of the accessories you would consider must have?

I got the kit that included the 200 lbs. of pellets. Go ahead and pick up some of their rubs. I especially like Heifer Dust. Save on shipping.
I didn't mop or spray because it felt like it wasn't drying out. Next time I'd probably wrap it. 225, took about 16 hours, flat was 204 when I pulled it. Aaron Franklin recommends 203, so that's what I was shooting for. [Reply]
