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.

On pork some other tastes come through better than brisket.
JMO those Texas guys are good at brisket and beef ribs. I’ll take recipes from KC or Memphis guys for pork butt.
It's great on beef - but I just can't do it on pork. You also have to be careful not to over pepper. My brisket was good, but a little spicy for the wife and kid. [Reply]

My local Sam's has sucked in the meat department with things I like to smoke lately.
Just recently they got their baby backs back in. Pretty good with Shoulders, but I prefer Duroc pork shoulders, which I can get at my local Fareway. [Reply]
Over the 4th I helped a friend install an above ground pool, so I was over there a lot. And since we were busy but needed to eat, I just threw these quarter pound Nathan's hotdogs you can get at Sams on the smoker, and they were amazing. Set at 275, eat when you're ready. They were perfect. [Reply]

I do this with Vienna Beef Polish dogs I used to be able to get from Sam's then COVID happened. [Reply]
Sam's sucks and their social distancing is worst.
I gave mine (card bac) back as employees were shaering masks, groups were gathering of management with ro respect toing rules and the last visit cashiers were not wering gloves to handle fresh food.. Costco is further but safer to shop at, selection's better too.

Price Chopper. Seen plenty there and under $3 per pound. Now that my grill is ded rip [Reply]
Giving the new smoker a run doing boneless chicken theighs... We'll see. So far it seems like I have to run it high to get smoke rolling. A lot higher than I'd want to do the port belly, so I may need to get the smoke rolling, then put the port belly in.
