Smoke and sous vide
« on: April 23, 2020, 12:24:45 PM »
Anyone ever dabble in the water?  I just tried smoking a shoulder for 3 hours and then sous vide for an additional 18 hours. I'm only doing this for now on. Smoke @ 200 and sous vide at 175.

Interesting method! How did the shoulder pull apart at 175?
Wife: Let me guess... you want to grill again

The duration helps. It was the easiest pull ever. Meat gum.

Looks good. I’ve done steak once for a couple hours before searing. I don’t plan ahead well enough to get into it.

I do this during winter to minimize my exposure to the Wisconsin elements. I usually take it to wrap stage on the WSM at 225°F (3-4 hours), seal then into the bath for 24 hours at 170°F. When I pull it out of the bag, I give it some time under the broiler (or one time, a propane torch) to firm the bark.

I've also done baby backs in the bath. The results were spectacular.

That's awesome! I've got a friend that can't get enough of his sous vide. I don't have the patience for it, unfortunately, but it's cool to see how others use it!

Broiler!  Excellent idea. My bark was super soggy. I’ll do that next time.

I'm thinking sous vide first and then smoke?

I've always been under the impression smoke penetrates raw cold meat better.  But that is what experimenting is for.

Meat will only take smoke until about 100°F or so. You need to smoke first and then sous vide. Otherwise, liquid smoke is the only way to get smoked flavor into the meat.

Would this work? Sous vide first, chill overnight, then smoke?

Meat gum?  I hope not lol.  It looks better than that!

Clarification. Soft as gum. Not chewy.
