Brisket injection

Hogs Gone Wild BBQ · 02-03-2013, 02:50 PM

I have a competition coming up in a week, an my brisket guy will not be able to make it. I am cooking brisket for the first time in almost a year. I am trying out a new injection, but it seems to be a bit heavy handed on the pepper. Now, I like pepper on my brisket, so it is good to me, but what do most folks prefer? A peppery injection, or not? thanks.

Maybe I am the only one, but, I don't use any pepper at all for injections.

2 tbs of black pepper, 1/2 cup of your favorite phosphate injection, 2.5 cups of scalding Hott water all mixed together, allowed to cool and strained. Great flavor.

Butchers BBQ Brisket injection mixed with beef broth instead of water.

I second that Butcher's brisket injection suggestion, really good stuff.

I like pepper ON my brisket...not in it! I like Kosmo's Reserve Blend IN my brisket...

i just used apple juice on my Super Bowl briskie. Kept everything moist and let me taste the meat.

Rereading his question is not what product is liked ,just do you like to add pepper. My answer is I do like a rub flavor on the outside not inside. Maybe not a pepper flavor but a rub flavor.

Dang didn't mean to stop the thread. lol

Is it still an injection if you don't use needles and it takes 8-10 hours to get the pepper flavor through the meat using salt, pepper, smoke and heat?

Ryan Chester · 02-06-2013, 12:56 PM

I like whatever Kosmo puts in his injections. Doesn't taste like pepper so I would say light or no pepper.

We make up our own injection and add Amesphos (phosphate only).
