A ton of people believe that all natural is the way to go to get perfect barbecue. Â I used to be in that category until I started competing. Â Then I discovered how much injections enhance the flavor, texture and overall quality of the barbecue. Â This is my go-to brisket injection. Â It is simple and delicious.
Beef Brisket Injection
Add 48 oz of beef broth and 24 oz of water to a sauce pan. Â Bring to a boil.
Once the liquid is boiling, remove from the heat and add 3 tablespoons of beef base and 2 tablespoons of rub.
Mix well and let cool.
Place the mixture in a covered container and refrigerate until you are ready to use. Â I split it into two containers and use half for injection and the other for a marinade later in the cooking process of the brisket.
When you are ready to inject, remove the injection from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before injecting. Â Make sure to dispose of any extra injection as the needle will contaminate the injection.

This injection is a shot of pure beef flavor that enhances the overall look, texture and flavor of the brisket.
I've made a few home batches and lately have been trying Butcher's BBQ beef injection. I've liked that one so far. I'll give yours a try when I run out.

How far in advance to cooking should the inject be used?
Chevie,
I like to inject about 2 to 3 hours before I put the meat on the smoker. Then right before I put the meat on the smoker, I pat the outer surface of the brisket dry using a paper towel. Then I rub the meat using my favorite rubs.

Can Roasted Beef Base be used instead of just Beef Base?
Roasted beef base works just fine. I actually prefer it!
How much should I squeeze out per injection?
I use a 10ml injector and I get between 5-10ml per hole. Just inject till the fluid starts to flow back at you.
