I spent $85 on a 'competition-grade' injection marinade kit that left my brisket tasting like salty medicine water.
Has anyone else found that simpler rubs and patience actually beat out all these fancy, expensive 'pro secrets' you see online?

Wait, you spent eighty-five actual dollars on salty medicine water? That's insane. I'd be marching right back to wherever sold that junk. My grandad's brisket was just salt, pepper, and smoke, and it beat anything from a fancy kit. All that money just proves the old ways are usually the right ways.

Okay but "the old ways are usually the right ways" is the thing... my grandad's way was to cure his own bacon with pink salt, which is basically the same stuff in those kits. He just bought the chemicals separate for cheap. Sometimes the old way IS using a curing salt, they just didn't have a fancy box for it. So it's not always about simple vs. complex, it's about knowing what the stuff actually does.

Feel your pain. My best briskets have always come from simple salt and pepper with plenty of time.
