Wanted to try the simple combo. Trimmed most fat out. Pulled after 50 hrs at 134. Hot CI pan and deliciousness ensued. Was happy with all parts. Appreciate all the inspiration around these parts!
The juice was liquid gold. Not sure what to do with leftover juice but that got tossed in freezer. Maybe carnivore popsicles :emoji_laughing:

Did mix of cheese too in smoker but not the most exciting post on that. Cheddar, dbl cheddar, muenster, pepperjack, colby jack

Chucky looks excellent! Cheese looks good too! Cheese pics may be boring but the taste makes up for it totally!

My question is.....How do you decide how long to SV the meat and stuff?
Jim
Time and temperature to your liking. I like my chucks 131 for around 40hrs. Give or take. You just have to do it and see what’s best for you.
Magic 8 ball..... RFLMAO. That’s funny.

I go to SMF and just do as the gods tell me :) I saw it on here and seemed so simple. Cannot really go wrong (well I haven't yet). I did a chuckie barbacoa 2 times so far. Sent mom and dad with enchiladas of the beef barbacoa and smoked cheeses shredded. Happy parents! Cook book for reference.

Just dunked some pork tenderlon in with a random mix trying to get something with a good kick. I will let it go 24 hrs. Really liking this SV so far. Good luck!
 
You guys killing me here! :emoji_laughing: Is there a guide for length and time and etc? Or just trial and error?

I used to say that, until I got a Tough one.
48 hours takes care of the tough ones too. 40 might, but it might not.
30 hours doesn't take care of the occasional tough Chuck.
I found 48 hours best for Chuckies, and 21 to 24 hours for Eye Round @ 131° to 134°.

I tried that after seeing your post about 50hr chucks. Anywho, that was a bit on the soft side for me. So I dialed it back to 40-45hrs. No tough ones yet and none approaching mushy. I do agree that @131* 30-35hrs is not long enough.
