Brine pumps are easily found (on the mother site here for example) but they are ~ï¿½100 and a bit OTT for most of us. Have you considered ink cartridge refill needles? such as here:

Larger syringes can probably be picked up at the chemists, but I expect (or rather hope) that needles would be harder to come by.

I and others on sausagemaking bought a big 50ml syringe and canula from ebay:

It works quite well for hams.

You can get a pump from this site and a similar one from other sausage supply sites for around ï¿½100.

If you want to get needles from ebay, for pumping, I suggest you get them quick. This was on the syringe shop on ebay. I have just bought a few cannulas and a couple of 50ml syringes to keep me going.

I use one of these for hams http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MEAT-POULTRY-JAM-MARINADE-INJECTOR-SYRINGE-INJ_W0QQitemZ260184154631QQihZ016QQcategoryZ20649QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
However the needle is plastic so you have to watch out not to hit a bone.
I just saw this one as well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLAVOUR-INJECTOR-TO-MARINADE-TURKEY-CHICKEN-BEEF_W0QQitemZ330183724646QQihZ014QQcategoryZ20649QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem which is a bit dearer but has a stainless needle.
With the dollar rate you could get a more professional one herehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NORPRO-Professional-Marinade-Injector-NIB_W0QQitemZ220174462807QQihZ012QQcategoryZ20651QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem for about ï¿½9.

I've no idea

it was a wacky idea I had this morning and thought I would try out, but I think I will go for the ones lemonD has linked to. But which one, decisions, decisions... I'm not too bothered about a fancy syringe and I can't tell whether the needles are any different.

I think all in all, I've spent about ï¿½20 in the syringe shop. I can't see me ever needing to buy any more stuff off them.

This is good because I pump and then dry rub all my meat, I then vacpac them, and stick them in the fridge out of the way, they take up much less room that way. Of course the exceptions are bacon and air dried meats. So the syringes get used quite a lot.

I went for the US one: thanks for the links LJ. I'm sure the UK one would have been fine but there would have always been that niggle that the other one might have been better :lol:

Morton's Salt sells an injector pump, replete with a special needle. It is made of stainless steel. The needle, made of stainless has a closed end and several side vents. It is particularly well suited to curing hams and other large pieces of meat because the needle is long and the side vents disperse the brine well. Mine has lasted for years.

I am uncertain as to its availability in the U.K.

thanks for all the replies,
Pal found them on www.thebbq.co.uk under marinade injectors ï¿½9.99 free delivery,

There you are dave the same injector. Mind you importing it from the States, is a few pence cheaper, than the BBQ site.

ï¿½9.99 free delivery

My final bill was ï¿½8.00, hopefully it will be here for Christmas :roll:

If I'd known I'd have ordered from bbq.co.uk as they've been very helpful to me in the past and I'd rather have sent the business their way :cry:

I really ought to start wearing my specs.. thought it was a thread about Brined Noodles...

Must say I have been using the syringes and canulas and they are still in tip-top condition. I always wash them thoroughly and dry them with my small airbrush compressor..

Local wal mart stores have them for less that $5 USD Plastic and they work well for cheapies.

Oddley, Can you give a break down for say 3 kilo of meat how much brine, how much dry rub and the make up of each, or should I start a new thread in the curing section
