Testing 6 Commercial Injections Competition BBQ Pork Pitmaster Harry Soo

[@willturner9566]

I have been blown away by Heath Riles barbecue Rubs!! That garlic jalapeño, Wow! I can’t wait to try your rubs. love your videos, thank you so much.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Thanks Will for stopping by. I show numerous ways to get the results you are looking for so feel free to experiment and have fun barbecuing!

[@jackevans5737]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this video. Newbies like me really appreciate it.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Happy to share some nuggets of BBQ love with you so you can wow your family and friends to create more memories and relationships. Thanks for watching. My comp butt video posts tomorrow so please check back.

[@tacticaltailgaters2643]

Thanks Harry! As a greenhorn Comp pitmaster, I really appreciate the videos you produce. A lot of great info!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Glad you like them! Feel free to browse my 400 videos 35 playlists when you have time! Lots of black belt tips for comp pitmasters!

[@danielploy9143]

If these make the pallet numb, couldn’t figure out why people would use these. Especially if your doing this at home. Once again Harry great video...

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

For home eating, you can dial down the flavor super charging. In a contest, a judge eats 2 oz tasting pieces. Figure 6-8 entries for each of the four meats (chicken, ribs, pork, brisket) and sometimes Anything Butt and dessert and that's a lot of food (2 oz X 6 entries X 4 meats = 48 oz or 3 lbs of protein). You can't taste salt after ribs so to win a savvy competitor will have to amp the flavors in the later entries. Do not do this at home

[@justinaguilar5903]

Harry you are have jumped to #1 on my subscription list. Your channel is what I have really been looking for. Also you views from a judge's stand point are extremely informative. Cannot wait to try out my game plan at our 1st competition. Til then more testing. Thanks again good day from Colorado

[@justinaguilar5903]

Oh forgot to mention great review.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Hopefully, my E&E videos (educate and entertain) videos will jump start your learning curve Justin. I have much footage I made over a year ago (like this butt injection one). I hired a video editor person to help me get them out faster as I want to post two a week. Stay tuned for a chicken injection one, followed by a brisket one.

[@nicks.12]

Right before watching this video I purchased the butchers bbq and your smack yo daddy rub for my butt next week. I'm glad to see when I searched for reviews on the injection that you were the first result. Looking forward to some great pulled pork. Thanks for all your hard work on making the video.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

You're welcome. Feel free to check out my 160 other videos

[@scottgrafelman2390]

Harry - do you have a recommendation for a top of the line meat injector? The gun handle ones look interesting. Thanks.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Please see what I like in my Amazon store tinyurl.com/y7m5xsab

[@chriscallow4667]

Awesome videos...what injector do you use/prefer? I don't see it in your store.

The red one on Amazon - www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AELIDH3CAS523DSRPJLNAGHJ7FWA/DYV2WS0IYW2S?ref=idea_lv_lole_&type=explore

[@chriscallow4667]

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ Thank you Harry!

[@joehaynes2458]

How would a simple 1/2 white vinegar. 1/2 Apple juice, mixed with The rub you use. As an Injection, compare to these commercial ones.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Hey Joe, only way to know is to try. It costs about $1,000 in expenses and fees to be in a contest. So after trying it in 10 contests against the top teams in the world, you will have several data points to compare your recipe against the top ones. Alternatively, you can save $10,000 and perhaps watch this guy's video and learn from his 300+ comps experience and KCBS TOY third place pork overall among 5,000 teams to see if his methods will work for you. :-)

[@JS-rp7qb]

joe haynes or skip the contests, make one and see if it tastes good

[@bigcatkim]

Thanks Harry! I appreciate your hard work to bring us these videos. Thank you!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

You're very welcome Kim. I'm actually editing the recipes on what I did with all that leftover pork! Glad you found the video E&E (educational and entertaining). Warm regards, Harry

[@jintheak]

Great info

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@joesmith4471]

Thank you for a great video! If you had to choose one when cooking at home rather than for competition, which one would you go with?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

I would cook it with no rub, no sauce, and no seasonings for home eating. Please see my other pork video kzbin.info/www/bejne/raW6eomDr6tqns0

[@joesmith4471]

Thank you Harry!

[@brianpreston5206]

What spay bottle you use for spritzing the meat

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Red pump sprayer used for hog contests, yes, there is such thing as hog beauty contests. See my Amazon store link in Description

[@brianpreston5206]

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ thank you sir. Awesome videos, and content

[@sanchez071581]

How much rub do you put on the water?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

It depends on the injection manufacturer's instruction on the label. Some use more, some use less. Figure 1/4 cup dry + 10 oz wet

[@BigSteve93015]

All things being equal could you tell if there was a moisture difference between each test muscle. (Nearly impossible as no two muscles are exactly the same but....) Great videos Harry, you're givings us some high knowledge content, thank you.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Thanks for your kind words Steve. I have much footage shot over a year ago like this butt injection video. I have a video editor person helping so I hope to get a couple out per week. Next is chicken injections and brisket injections. Short answer to your question is that all pork injections have phosphates and salt so the meat will plump and be moist and salty. I'll address the chemistry in more detail in my How Brines and Marinates work video I'm working on. Regards, 'Harry

[@chensacasa32]

Pellet or real wood smokers? Which one would you prefer?? And which one works best??

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

3 hour argument and Jerry Springer fist fight! That's like asking what is the best religion! Have fun with whatever pits you like and remember Harry taught you it is about the pitmaster and not the pit!

[@bradfuller2454]

great vids Harry!! I never thought to combine injections as I am an avid Butcher user. I have tried others and found that there is a chance for a salt "Blowout" I will try the combo trick at my next event

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Hey Brad, yes mixing products is a common black belt technique. I will keep sharing these black belt tips so you could up your backyard and competition game via my videos. If there are other topics which you want to know more about, please let me know. Thank you kindly for your support to share the knowledge via my E&E videos (educate and entertain)

[@bradfuller2454]

I have pork and Brisket down pretty good I have been watching your chicken vids to up my game at this. jacard, meat glue and scrape are my next attempts. wish me luck. Thanks for what you do

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

More chicken videos coming soon on 6 best devil meat brines

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Best of luck Brad. Take walks and send pics! [e-mail] and I'll post online

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

BTW Brad Fuller, when I say mixing products, I did not mean to double or triple up on the amount of the powder. You still need to follow the directions on the proper amount of each product carefully.

[@jerry-381]

Love the video. And love the intro too!!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

You're welcome Jerry. I politely asked to my video editing guy to exclude "slap" noises going forward. :-) If you have other topics you'd like to see, please let me know. Thanks.

[@teamturner3933]

Did you ever mix the injections?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Yes, I do most of the time. I like Butcher Reserve + Big Poppa for brisket and Smoke on Wheels + Swine o Mine for pork

How many ounces does that injector hold? Been looking for that style of injector that holds at least 4 ounces.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Buy your injector here. I visited with Dave Bouska at a contest (he's Butcher's BBQ) and he gave me one which is my fav injector. Won first place many times with it and it has good mojo. www.butcherbbq.com/online-store/Pistol-Grip-Gourmet-Meat-Injector-p64957553

[@markacyr]

Harry - tried to find the injector you're using on "BBQ gear that Harry likes" link in the show notes. I can't find it listed. Do you have a brand? I've gone through some terrible ones that leak, and I'm looking to step up my game.

Harry...have you tried Heath Riles pork injection?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Yes I have and Heath has very good products which I like very much.

[@federicoquesada2208]

My pork was great...I experienced serious problem.with my brisket...attempted to do hot n fast, but it seems to me it was very lean, so it ended up dry and did not like it. I used cattleprod ans smoke blend from kosmo to inyect, used your rub on it an the flavor was great...not the texture,mmm😥😌😥

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

@@federicoquesada2208 Use a bigger brisket and Prime grade if you can. You need fat in the brisket to do a hot-and-fast well.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Added to User-Requested list of topics!

[@BBQPitmaster626]

So, in your conclusion, depending on your mood, smoke, and probably most important, your rub; will overall determine which one of these injections would work best for you, since they are all pretty good injections in your opinion. I guess I will go with Butcher

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Hey BBQ PItmaster: There are pros and cons of using what other competition teams are using. Dave Bouska's injections are very very good. When you are competing against 100+ teams, using the same flavor profile will not make your comp entry stand out. www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/04/academy-of-country-music-acm-bbq-throwdown-las-vegas-nevada/ Feel free to check out my blog on tips of the psychology of winning contests www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2016/06/barbecue-creativity-finding-your-purple-cow/

Thanks very much harry, 👍. Did you pull those at 160 degrees? If not what temp do you typically pull for a slicing money muscle?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

I go by probe tender bamboo skewer feel 90% and 10% by internal temp between 190F to 205F

Would like to see a review on chicken brined vs injected...

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

The answer is the injection is probably better than marinated. Best is to do both which I did in my shoot of 6 popular commercial chicken injection video coming soon.

[@BigLou956]

Harry Soo thank you so much, I've been learning alot on your techniques and reviews so keep them videos coming buddy 👍👍

Harry, Just curious about your career prior to or in addition to BBQ. I’ve watched many of your videos. Had my college professors been as articulate, passionate and knowledgeable about subject matter, I might have enjoyed school. Now a retired old fart that loves to see good food being consumed and enjoyed.

Hey TJ, I'm just an old fart who is having fun before retirement. Thank you for your kind words and support. Like you I enjoy food.

[@TJ-zl3tx]

Harry, I’ve just listened to your podcast & had to stop and reflect. I saw an episode with Aaron Franklin smoking brisket 3 ways, foiled, butcher paper & naked. He had a guest pit master that I’d never heard of. Enjoyed the episode, several months later I saw the guest in an elevator in Manhattan, still not knowing who he was. I told him I’d seen him on PBS with Aaron Franklin. We chatted BBQ for a good 10 minutes but in NY everyone’s in a hurry. It wasn’t until I got home to watch the video again did I realize that I’d just met BBQ royalty. The gentleman was John Marcus.
