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.
Nothing to laborious and whatever seasoning I grabbed from the cabinet for the grill. Chicken thighs, one batch in a mild curry and another in
original Dan'os. Hamburgers seasoned with Kinder's buttery steakhouse. And knackwurst, because fuck hot dogs. [Reply]
Steaks were a tad on the drier side, but still very edible. Brought back some good memories. Ribs were actually from about 9 months ago. Still very moist and tasty.

Costco sells them stripped out for like $5/lb or a whole belly for $3 or 4/lb. Whole belly I have to half and freeze for later or it makes an ungodly amount. [Reply]

Truth. I quarter it and have plenty for four meals for the family or enough for two football parties. [Reply]

Sometimes living in BFE sucks.
Costco is an hour away for us which means we generally didn't get there till near close on the weekends. Stock always sucked so we stopped going. [Reply]
