Just Came Back (Inject or not to inject?)

[Edmund Caro]

I just came back after a long time away and rubbed the rust of the old smoker. Going to fire it up and smoke some Butts bone in about 7-8lbs each after trim. I was wondering what the feeling is on injecting the butts. Is it worth the extra step? I will be cooking low and slow 12-16 hrs. The temp here in FL will be mid 50's outside. If you do like injecting what do you like to inject with? Thanks

I for one inject my butts and briskets. I just recently did 2 butts and injected both. My wife and our guests raved about the taste. They were very flavorful and very moist. As for the injection, on these I used Harry Soo's injection and rub recommendations from his website. Taste was great and had just a bit of heat. Give it a try.

Thanks Bob will look at his recipe.

I've been injecting for quite some time using Harry Soo's recipe and technique ever since he "spoke" on here (be sure and see his PDF).

I've been getting nothing but raves ever since... Thank you, Harry!

Keep on smokin',

When I have the opportunity I want to take Harry's class. Could learn a lot and have some great food. It would be fun.

I do not inject. I do like to brine though. Less mess in my opinion.
