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.

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.

That looks great. I did 10 slabs of ribs last week. Here's 7 slabs I cut up and made a pile of ribs.

I cooked 8 chicken thighs and I wanted to do them all in my OK Joes Bronco Drum but it wasn't big enough to hold two muffin pans so I cooked 4 in the Drum and the other 4 I did in my Wichita. In the end after I glazed/sauced them I put them all in the Wichita. Used some apple and cherry wood. Turned out pretty good for my first attempt. I scraped the fat off the skin on 4 of them and said screw it on the other 4. The skin shrunk on the ones I scraped but one of those did turn out perfect. [Reply]
