22lbs is pretty damn big for a wagyu brisket.


Been throwing down on some 10-15lbs ones the last few weeks. Hard to frick them up.

This and I'll add how big is your smoker? That's a slab of beef.

Why? Just leave it be. Should have plenty of fat to keep it nice and juicy.

I feel absolutely horrible trimming wagyu packers. I always try and grind them into burgers with leftover chuck or whatever I have. Turns out like 30/70 beef lol not 70/30 30/70

I'm with the other crowd, don't think I could bring myself to inject a Wagyu brisket from SRF. That is a hunk of meat, doing it on the smoker the entire time or going to cheat and wrap then the oven?

Why are you injecting that?

Shouldn’t be any need right? You shouldn’t feel need to inject a prime, so why inject a step above in grade?

Injecting meats puts flavor and moisture into the meat. A brisket, especially a Waygu brisket, will certainly be fine without injecting. But it’s not going to hurt a damn thing and can add a certain flavor profile he’s going for.


Does anybody have a reason why he shouldn’t other than “it’s not necessary”. Anybody injected a brisket and had bad results. Or injected a brisket period? I know in the case of the TH person he’s never cooked a brisket, let alone injected one. Yet here he is popping off about shite he’s clueless about, as usual.

Most people inject phosphates when they are cooking hot and fast or have extended holds. I don't particularly like it because I find it can affect texture. Pork butt for example, when using something like Kosmo's Q pork injection, I've experienced it pull long and stringy versus no injection.

I would argue that brisket flavor comes from the breaking down of the fat, especially intramuscular. Wagyu's entire market is that it excels in this area. Unless he has a specific flavor as you stated he is going for, then I would not risk interfering with the flavor he obviously paid for in getting a brisket from SRF.

Why do my posts upset you so much? I post what I cook almost daily, yet here you are again claiming (horribly) that I don't know what I'm talking about.

It's especially comical considering you said the same fricking thing I did yet you want to cry about me saying it.

I just like making you melt. The above is a pretty good one, thanks. You’ve never cooked a brisket and you know it
