Q:  Hey Dr. BBQ,

 

I was watching “BBQ’ing” on the Food Network and noticed some guys were injecting, using what seems like a pressurized pump. Are these homemade or are they available for sale?  I have a vacuum tumbler but I’d really like to get my hands on one of those pressurized pumping needles.

 

Thanks,

 

Chef Wil

 

A:  Hi Chef Wil,

 

The answer is that those pumps are both homemade and store bought. Look around for a curing pump, meant for injecting hams and things like that. The homemade ones I’ve seen combine the cure pump needles with a pressurized vessel like a weed sprayer.  Obviously you’ll need to get a new one and wash it well before using it.
