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.
Dad said he wanted to do a brisket this weekend. Which actually meant me cooking a brisket. Started a 11 lbs and had to separate the flat and point to fit on his small ceramic smoker. Ready to put on Monday morning.

Understand, hate to waste that great fat. Pretty much every brisket I cook has a SS bowl with the trimmings in it to render. [Reply]

I almost always split the flat and the point. Comes out the same. Cook time is little less.
Have the twins home this weekend, and and one of them got out the blackstone grill and fired it up for a few hours, letting it season. Going to cook up a bunch of burgers, brats and dogs.
Blast some early fireworks, and just kick back and enjoy.

Wishing the same to you all!

Do some roasted Pablanos. It changed my burger game. This is where I got the idea.
Going to put a butt in the smoker in the morning and 3 slabs of Baby backs in the late morning. Then I'll put on a marinated Salmon a little later. If I'm going to burn all that fuel, I'm going to cook some stuff. [Reply]
