You can try using a food-grade phosphate in a brisket injection. It increases the meat's water-holding capacity, keeping a lean brisket juicy and plump throughout a long 12-hour smoke. Barbecue phosphates alter muscle proteins to lock in natural moisture, and they prevent the brisket from drying...
