Haven't tried it, but some guys wrap in red butcher paper. Apparently it gives you the full bark and the benefits of wrapping in foil

I've done two Briskets now and I did one with no wrapping and smoked for like 18-19 hours (it took forever).  I wasn't too pleased with the turn out. The other one I did, I cooked like this: injected right before putting on the smoker with beef broth, butter and a Brisket Rub rubbed all over...

Ok, it took 19 hours and I wasn't too impressed. Turned up too dry. I'll be wrapping it next time. It was still good, but I prefer less hard bark and more moist meat.

About to hit 12 hours. 166 internal temp flat, 175 IT point

Just put it on the smoker...I can't wait for dinner tomorrow night...

I did my first one a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it.  I watched a youtube video on how a guy does it and modified it a little.  Here's how I did it: Rubbed it with John Henry Brisket Rub 4 hours at 275 spritzing with beef broth and putting butter on it every 1/2 hour. Wrapped it in foil and...

Ok, the apple was way WAY better. Best pulled pork I've ever had!

Ok, here comes the taste test for me. I'm doing 2 butts tomorrow night. One with the grape jelly for the family and one with apple juice. Rubbed and injected both tonight (wrapped in Saran Wrap), going on in 24 hours to be ready for kickoff on Sunday. I'll let you know how it comes out. I...

I don't think I ever posted in this thread. From southern California and in my early 40's I wanted to say thank you to everyone that's helped me out so far.  I appreciate it.  Seems like this is a great forum with even better people.  I keep trying new things and I appreciate all of the help...

Grape jelly mixture was great!  The only issue is that I didn't inject enough into the pork butt.  I could tell when I was eating a piece with the injection and when I missed it.  The pieces without were a little dry and when I got near the injection, moist and AWESOME! I tried a John Henry rub...

OK, it's on the smoker and has been for about 6 hours now.  I injected with the grape jelly mix.   I'll let you know how it turns out.

I want the flavor more, but I also like the "insurance" of moisture.  I tried garlic butter once and it was a little too moist for my liking.  Borderline mushy, but my family loved it.   Flavor was awesome.  I did not wrap it either, just cooked it all the way through the stall.

When you inject the butt with cola or root beer, will you taste the coke or root beer in it?  Or does it just sweeten it all up?

I wanted to know if anyone has a good injection that doesn't have apple juice or apple cider vinegar in it?  My daughter is allergic to apples, so I have to go with something else.   I'm not too fond of root beer, I saw the comment on here about root beer.  Does it taste like root beer at all...
