I do inject when time allows because it adds another layer of flavor, in addition to other things. Can't agree with you with the garlic, but hey, who am I to say it's a bad idea? You could try this forum for some great ideas on injections, how to apply, ingredients, etc.. Since this is your 1st brisket I wouldnt get real complicated with the process by adding too many ingredients, otherwise if something is wrong you'll have trouble isolating what it was. You can always add the garlic later if that's your desire. Experiment, but don't overthink.
