Special Notes

This brisket injection is perfect for adding flavor and moisture. The combination of beef broth and apple juice creates sweet, savory flavor. The key is to inject the mixture evenly throughout the brisket. This marinade is perfect for smoking and can be made ahead of time. For extra flavor, you can add different herbs or spices. The brisket should be injected at least 30 minutes before cooking.
