Injecting brisket

[redpepper]

Anyone having success injecting brisket?

I like the taste of brisket injected with a liberal amount of Worchestershire sauce, but to this point I haven't been able to avoid the streaky appearance of the injection points.

Maybe I should just marinade it longer and avoid the injection altogether.

Brian:
To tell you the truth I don't inject my brisket at all. Been times when I have thought about it but i keep coming up with the same thoughts you are experiencing, that being the streaks of injection material in the brisket. I guess it does not really matter appearance wise except in the competion meats. For home use if you like the taste go for it.

I don't marinate my brisket at all. TexasBBQRub and the smoke take care of the taste for me. Just my thoughts on this. I have read other discussions about injecting and soem use beef broth as i would imagine the color issue would not be an issue any longer.

Will be interested to see what others say though. Keep on smoking and trying new things.

I have injected with Kiwi...makes things pretty tender ;)

I just smash the kiwi beyond recognition, mix with whatever seasoning you want (i have used w-shire too) and inject LIBERALLY. I do get some marblizing of the meat...but not much, and when i'm mixing it with BBQ sauce anyway...noone would know. I don't do much smoking, so i am not after the perfect smoke ring around the outside... Just a thought :)

Brian,

I do inject my competition briskets, and as you know I have had some success.. Try some beef broth with the w-shire sauce...
