Hey everyone! I'm finally going to give the Butcher's BBQ Prime Brisket Injection a shot. I got a 13lb prime packer I'm throwing on tonight around 11 or so hoping to have done in time for the Eagles vs New Orleans game. For those of you who inject, at what point in the prep do you usually do so? Is it right before you apply the rub etc... or do you inject and let sit for a while? Have a great weekend everyone, Fly Eagles Fly!

    For me I would inject first, then rub. If you do it the other way you can wash off your dry rub

    Whatever timing you use (unless during the cook), inject thru shrink wrap to contain the wayward shots of juice.  Makes clean-up much easier.

    The butchers has phosphates in it which virtually all comp teams use because it retains moisture far superior to any homemade injection. Inject, wipe surface dry then rub. The injection can inhibit the bark if you leave it on the surface. It’ll be awesome. Fat down in egg and 250 or lower IMO.

    This is accurate.  A prime or better (SRF) brisket needs no modification.  It's easier to keep it easy.
