copycat Q

Postby Drewlooker » Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:55 am

I just received several copycat products Cow Cover, Texas Brisket and the Reserve Brisket Injection. Has anyone used these products in completion? I tasted the rubs last night and i can tell there is a palatable amount of sugar, i tend to stay away from sugar and beef but i am game for anything that can get a call..

I've used their reserve brisket injection. It's pretty good. Sometimes a brisket with a sweet touch does well.

Only thing I've used from copycat is the "Chicken Soak" The first time I used it at a comp we took 1st place chicken!
I haven't used any of the brisket stuff, I prefer Butchers and have had success with it so I stick with it.

Good Luck at your Comp.

It’s good stuff, his rubs and injections are top notch. Not a fan of the sauce though.
How bout some more beans Mr.Taggert? I'd say you've had enough!

I use butchers currently, but just wanted to see what was on the other side of the fence! Chicken Soak? I may have to give that a try, i use butchers chicken injection as well.

Yes, it's very tough when you stick to certain flavors to get out of your comfort zone. A couple years ago I made a brisket for some guests who preferred sweet with very little pepper. It happened to be one of the best I've ever cooked.. it was comp worthy. It was a nice cut of beef, I think that's half the battle.

I've tasted his products that are used at comps but never used myself he has good products for sure. I use Butchers it works for me.
Always remember slow and steady wins the race.
