Injecting and Cooking Brisket

Injecting is a tried and proven method used by competitors and brisket enthusiasts alike to ensure a moist, flavorful brisket every time. Many cooks have mastered the art of various brisket rubs, which helps provide an impressive bark full of flavor, there is still no way for the rub to penetrate the inside of the brisket, which can leave the inner part of the meat unseasoned, resulting in uneven flavor.
