FAQ Subject: Trouble with injecting marinade
Smoky,
I am an experienced barbequer but just started checking out injection marinades. I have done a 12 lb turkey and a 5 lb rib roast with mixed results. Both were injection marinaded overnight and tasted OK, but the meat was discolored with a natural/marinade marbled look. Appearance is important to me and apologizing for how the entree looks is not acceptable. I have heard about the massaging the meat to evenly distribute the marinade. Will this help? If I can't get it right, I think my injection days are over.

Hi Don,
I gave up on it 20 years ago. I don't like the appearance and think that it makes "hot spots" of over seasoning.
Have fun,
Smoky
