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.

Yes! Honestly, the wife wants these instead of brisket burnt ends moving forward. She just wants them a little less spicy. So there will be just regular rubs (skipping the Montreal Steak next time), and in the last part part of the burn I'm going to make an beef broth/apple jelly/Blues Hog mixture for them to render in.

This is 100% a winner.
Nice. I'm all about getting a little funky with the spice.

Mine came out decent too but pretty damn spicy! I loved it but my wife would prefer less spice. I used a generic KC BBQ rub and it must have some heat in there. I used just hickory wood and the smokey flavor was on point.
If I had to change one thing it would be to cube the pieces smaller at the end so some could become softer. Some pieces with marbling were melt in your mouth tender while pieces away from fat were more like steak tips that still required chewing, although tasty.
My sauce at the end that was killer was 1 cup BBQ sauce, 1.5 Tbsp honey, 1.5 Tbsp brown sugar and 4 oz beef broth. I pulled after an hour cooking with the sauce but I'll definitely shoot for 1.5 hours next time.
Definitely worth my time doing though. Thanks guys! [Reply]

That's awesome. And the idea of adding apple jelly into the glaze that I was referring to came from that same dude's video for making pork belly burnt ends.
Good stuff man... And totally agree, this might become my go-to dish. It's NOT brisket, but it doesn't have to be, it just has to be this good. [Reply]

Great place. They will cut whatever cut you want. It'll cost you but worth it. [Reply]
you guys are amazing! I;ve decided tomorrow is a great day to smoke some ribs. i'm going to try to simplify it but i'm not sure I can. Smoke on! [Reply]
