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.

Makes for a shitty Friday night steak cookout when your tank goes empty mid-cook!
Scales work best, but a spare tank (that I always found empty..) is what most use. My Ducane is on natural gas, even though I only use it when weather sucks or in a hurry, it's always good to go. No shutting valves off either.
I'll never have another grill that I have to haul canisters around to get refilled/ exchanged.
Ever seen one of these. 600 degrees in minutes, disposable drip tray.
Or get one of these that's close as a Ducane and nat gas. This looks bad ass to me. Infared is kewl..

I’m not ready for the sausage game yet. Still trying to perfect the brisket. I’ve always thought about making sausage, looks very time consuming and somewhat frustrating. [Reply]
