Cant wait to do a eye of round this way! I have been doing eye of round for my RB sammy's for years. Brined and cooked to 125 and sliced thin.
Now I get to do as a roast that will be fork tender, so looking forward to this!
After thinking about it starting with hot water makes sense. Since you are not cooking directly in the water (vac packed) it is less of a concern with the water coming from the HW tank. On the plus side as well my tank is set for 130 deg. and it actually came out at 129.5 to the vessel.

I love my unit from Smokedaddy. Mine is the old style PID. I modded mine for cold smoking. Looking at there site builds you might want to go with two 18" units.
I would also consider using mineral wool insulation in the walls.
I have just taken a pic of a 5 pack of my frozen Vac Packed snack sticks. These were frozen 3 days after packing. Always refrigerated before freezing. I will take picks after thawed and opened. I use a chamber vac unit. They were frozen for 2 months.
The only spot that detached was from the...
I usually use 40% 80/20 ground chuck, 40% peeled knuckle (sirloin) and 20% pork loin. It is on the edge of to lean. But my customers love the snack sticks!
