What injector do you use? Where do you get it?

I use a trigger action livestock antibiotic injector. $20 at your local tractor supply.

I've been using the ones that come free with the Cajun Injectors- Creole butter jars. Works fine for me. I find them at Wally World or most grocery stores.

Spitjack. The cheap ones aren't worth spit IMHO.

That's about all I've used, too.


I can see where the better models would help, though....larger particles and longer needles along with greater volume.

That is the livestock injector exactly

Producer's Pride® ProShot II Syringe, 50cc Capacity

Google it and see if you can get it online. I believe butchers bbq sells them as well.

I use a really cheap injector with disposable needles. You can't order them online from the kansascitybbqstore but if you email them they will add them to your order. I never wash needles. I use them and then throw them away.

Big +1! Love it! Nice sharp tip. Gotta go from the sides of the flat or it will leave holes. Turns out that's what I do anyways. Win win.
The big one with 6"needle and 12 holes

I use MonoJet livestock serynges and needles. Cheap, disposeable and work great.

I've got THIS one. Works well.

Largely, they all work to a degree. For smaller cooks, you can use the free ones that come with some injections. Those tend to last a time or two, but are generally worth about what you paid for them. You can find much better ones in that size range made of Stainless Steel that hold up much better. I've had mine for probably 15 years now and injected perhaps 1000 butts with it, it's still going. Getting larger, for things like whole hogs and such, you'll want one that draws from a bucket and is much larger, the kind like you'll find at jacksoldsouth.com. Otherwise, you can get the good smaller ones almost everywhere; I think I got mine online at amazon, but I dont recall...

I order them here http://www.jefferspet.com/aluminum-hub-needles/camid/PET/cp/0029536/
and they are cheap. I use the XQ-A3 Needle $0.20 each and the XQ-DE syringe
http://www.jefferspet.com/luer-lock-disposable-syringes/camid/LIV/cp/0029534/
at $0.69 each and their shipping is pretty cheap.

I use the spitjack and like it. SlamDunk Productions who is a member sells some nice injectors. I have seen them work. Check sales and ventures

What's the world coming too...
Chicago doesn't seem to have a lot of Tractor Supply places...

Here in the sunny South, you can't throw a rock w/o hitting a
John Deere dealership or a Tractor Supply. Love it.

If not cooking a lot of volume I have used the Cajun injectors, some larger ones from butchers, and I have a spithack but find the needles to be ginormous!

My new favorite is from a vet supply house. Reletively inexpensive, and all but eliminates refilling. You just put one end of a plastic/rubber tube in a jar of whatever you're injecting, connect the other end to the injector, and squeeze.

Hard to search on my phone but will find and post later today. Was suggested by Todd from plowboys.
ONLY issue I've found is that, because of the small valves it uses to pump, you need to filter the injection to prevent clogs

Edit - here's the original thread http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131343&highlight=injector+plowboy

Its made to innoculate a large number of animals at once. I actually ended up with two different ones. Once I locate the link to the better of the two, I'll post the links to both

This is the one I like the best....happen's it was the one Todd recommended http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=2b95d444-565c-4ef8-84c8-edd8320ec6fe

YMMV
