ATBBQ Pistol Grip Meat Injector 2″ Replacement Needle — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ATBBQ Pistol Grip Meat Injector 2″ Replacement Needle?
This is a stainless steel replacement needle (2-inch length) designed specifically for ATBBQ’s pistol grip meat injector. It restores precise injection capability when the original needle is lost, bent, or clogged.
What are its features and compatibility?
• Length: 2 inches (fits the pistol grip model)
• Material: stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance
• Fits ATBBQ’s Pistol Grip injector (50 cc model)
How do I install the replacement needle?
1. Remove the old or damaged needle from the injector’s tip.
2. Align the new 2″ stainless needle into the tip fitting.
3. Gently tighten or secure it so it sits firmly and straight.
4. Test with water first to ensure it injects properly and doesn’t leak.
How do I maintain or care for the needle?
• After each use, push clean water or a mild soapy solution through the needle to clear residue.
• Use a thin cleaning brush or wire to unclog small holes if needed (carefully).
• Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembling.
• Inspect for bending, clogging, or wear; replace if performance degrades.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Restores full functionality to your existing injector
• Low-cost component vs replacing the entire injector
• Stainless construction resists corrosion
Limitations / cautions:
• Only 2″ length — not suitable for very thick cuts that require deeper injection
• Must be installed straight and clean to avoid leakage or misdirection
• Over time, the small orifice may clog — regular cleaning is important
