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.

Last week, and tomorrow, I have/will be tasked with doing a smoker demonstration at my wife's place of employment. Over the years I have graced them with some KC/USA bbq.
It's a cheap assed smoker that's over 10 years old in design, but not everyone can afford a $3000 smoker (unless you are a chinese water bottling company owner :-) ).
I digress...
Basically, I took everything I could buy, from the store. Nothing homemade. There has been an influx of American seasonings lately, but nothing 'great'. Mostly McCormick's Grill Mates seasonings.
Anyways, I have four racks of pork ribs. spare ribs, some version of brisket but will do - it's thick enough, 4 kilos chicken wings, a shit ton of meatballs, and potatoes to smoke :-)
