Most everyone on the competition circuits injects. At least the ones who walk do. You can go to a site like Kosmos BBQ or Butchers BBQ if you want what they use. Or you can just use a super concentrated beef broth, using like 6 tbsp. beef base to 1 quart of water.

Also a good tip for injecting is to wrap your brisket in cellophane before injecting to prevent the blow back.

Most importantly is to get a good cut of meat. Certified Angus Beef is really the only route to go unless you spend big money on prime or wagyu. Make sure it has the CAB logo on it or it will be some sort of knock off Angus. It is like $5.99/ here, but totally worth it.
