To inject or Not inject: That is the question

[mamabearcoffey]

I am on the fence about injecting.  I have injected exactly one time, and it was delish, but I'm not sure it was enough to make me a regular injector.  Thoughts? Opinions? Preferences?

If your looking for a different flavor profile injecting is great. Scarbelly hot wings have to be the best wings around and they are injected.

Yep, I've injected coconut water/pineapple juice for a Pina Colada effect...quite tasty. Just watch your times....it's more important to hit that 140 in 4 hours when u inject....Willie

I inject for competition as well as at home.

You will never know until you give it a shot.

A good starter injection is the Big Bob Gibson one. I usually cut the salt a bit....still an amazing injection as is though.

Cook one with and one without to see if you like it!

Well it sounds like you liked the results when you injected...I think that tells you what you need to know.  Go for it!

I only inject briskets and the Scarbelly Wings.  Did on a butt once....never again.

My 2 cents!

I  injected a Pork Loin last week and it was a big success... no left overs...  I don't inject everything I grill or smoke ,,, more of a type of cut/meat thing for me...
