Can I be part of the cool kids club?
Details :
Costco 12lb prime brisket, trimmed and rubbed. Frozen 2 months, thawed in fridge.
Smoked 3 hours @ 225 over cherry - (Propane cabinet cooker w/ Cherry chunks)
Sous Vide @ 130 for 5 hours ( I was doing some other food)
Continue Sous Vide @ 140 for 65 hours
Notes:
Beautiful smoke ring
Smoke flavor is very light
Meat is a little dry
Serving with the Jus from the Sous Vide bag adds back all that wonderful gelatin and makes it amazing.
Texture is wonderful. Meat bites through cleanly, but is very tender. Best texture on a brisket I've ever done.
Out of 5 stars,
Meat - straight 3
Meat w/ Jus 5
Smoke ring 5
Texture 5
Next experiment will be the same but only 36-48 hours @ 140 instead of nearly 72.
