    Can you inject and freeze before cooking?

    Hi there, Has anyone injected brisket, butt, etc. and frozen them some months before cooking? Does it work or does the injection do something unwanted while the meat is frozen, for example start to "cure" it? Doing that would save some time, having a batch of injected meats ready to cook in...

    Injecting the Brisket

    The last brisket I did I injected it with beef broth after reading on the Amazing Ribs website that injecting with beef broth, brine, or specially formulated injection helps combat dehydration, and the salt enhances flavor. My brisket turned out really good. Any thoughts on this?

    Injecting – inspecting – neglecting my pig

    I will be smoking a whole hog soon on my indirect heat smoker, not worried about times & temp, what I am looking for is where to inject my marinade. Realizing that soaking the pig will be impossible, and having heard that injecting does wonders, where and how much, from within or from the...
