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.

I had to get out today so I called J.B.

Looks like I have some cooking to do. There's a couple nice days coming up so sheltering in(the back yard) is good. :-)
I'll post it up when I do the cook.
This is not correct. I bought an 8lb wagyu brisket @ $14.00 a pound. Ouch!
Anyway it's on! I went ahead and removed the deckle before the cook.
4.5 hours in and it's looking beautiful. It's got a pretty bark.

I'm going to pan it instead of wrapping it. I'm going to do it a little different though. I'm going marry peach paper to foil and then wrap it paper side down. I'm attempting to not steam or disturb that pretty bark. I'll also put a little bouillon dissolved in water and a touch of a porter in the pan. Keep it moist.
I've done this smoke with post oak and wild cherry. When I make the burnt ends I'm going to use cherry. I'm using the pan method with the added liquid so I'll have plenty of au jus. I'll use some of that with my sauce when I make the burnt ends.
