​Disco so sorry for being late,I agree with letting it cook longer.I found a tooth pick to be a better instrument for checking tenderness.I have a small piece defrosting now I don't inject any of my briskets.

I really appreciate the input, Richie. I will try that with a toothpick. As for injecting, I am afraid I am addicted to injecting my beef. I find it doesn't over power the beef taste but complements it and kicks it up a notch.

I injected my last one with plain beef broth, having never injected briskets, and liked the way it turned out.

Har! Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes (and curling in Canada). Thanks for the point, Gary.
