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.

My Fajita game is on lock these days since I've started using the Joule to salvage my otherwise useless 2+ pound sirloins that I end up with when I get my side of beef every year.
I took a stab at queso blanco and it came out very well. I haven't missed on quac in years so it was predictably great. And my recommendation to anyone on fajitas is to find Tortilla Land raw tortillas and cook them on the griddle yourself. 300 degrees or so gets you a perfectly toasted, fluffy, restaurant caliber tortilla.
I've got some Cowboy Ribeye's I'm going to cook in my offset smoker tomorrow. Going to smoke and then sear them on the grill grate in the firebox.
Coarse salt and coarse black pepper, lemon pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder rub. [Reply]
i always wanted to make my own. just never have done it.
If you have someone who can get you "heirlom" Masienda masa at El Popocatepetl's 47th Street location (4246 W. 47th St.) i would like some too, they will NOT ship.
Bayless swears by the stuff and is an investor. Popocatepetl's uses Masienda brand masa to make all the tortillas for Bayless's restaurants.

This is my 4th brisket, I tried it on the last one and it came out good. I don't know if that's good enough evidence but I figured stick with what worked.
Injection is beef broth worcestershire garlic and onion powder. Just too add moisture not a ton of flavor.
