So i am smoking a brisket saturday and wanted to inject overnight. I am reading about not using citrus or vinegar ingredients for overnight injections.

Would this injection work? Can sugar be injected overnight? Too much salt or not enough

2 cups of water
2 cups of low sodium beef stock
1 table spoon of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of salt
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon of garlic powder

i have a spice grinder so i will blend the salt, sugar and GP into a dust.

Injecting a brisket is a bad idea, so whatever you do will be fine.

Add some MSG to the injection blend.

because they need to have a powerful flavor that stands out against others.

Injected briskets are very very good.....to eat a little not to devour a bunch of sandwiches. I inject but not a ton like in comps.

Because making an entire brisket for one competition bite, versus using it to feed people are very different things.

And to OP - if I were to inject a brisket it would be about an hour prior to putting on the smoker. Injecting overnight would cause a lot of your injection leaking out, or slightly changing the texture of the meat, depending what's in your injection.

Inject the outside with black pepper and salt using the palm of your hand.

Done.

Rub salt on the outside. It will inject itself into the middle of the brisket overnight.

This sounds like the dumb shite I did in my 20s and 30s learning to be a Dad and failing miserably because I wasn’t listening to mine.

SPG. Hardwood. Time. No reason to get fancy.

What do you guys use to get your salt and pepper to adhere? I use yellow mustard, which also adds a little vinegar.

I do a salt and pepper brisket. I also do another where I “brine” it in a bottle of Worcestershire for 24 hours but I don’t inject it. I flip it while letting it soak and for larger briskets I cut it into the flat and point. Smoke it like normal until 150. Bring it back inside and finish it in the oven covered cooking while sitting in the Worcestershire. I also put a bbq dry rub on it before smoking. It’s not what I consider traditional but I’ve got 3-4 family members that prefer it that way. I enjoy it with a good potato salad.
