Honestly, I just wasted $200 on a 'competition grade' brisket injection that made my meat taste like salty water.

Tbh, I followed the recipe exactly for a 16-pounder and it ruined the whole cook. Has anyone else had a bad experience with injections, or should I just stick to the rub?

Ugh, that's the worst feeling. I tried a fancy injection once and got the same salty water result, completely killed the brisket. Honestly, I gave up on them after that. A good salt and pepper rub with careful cooking gets me way better results. Sometimes the simple way is just the right way.

Totally agree, overcomplicating it just ruins the meat. A solid dry brine and low heat never lets me down.
