50 hours at 135°, then three hours in the smoker. Rubbed with Black Ops. Something different. It’s got 29 1/2 hours to go.

This is my second Sous Vide cook. A few days ago we did three cheap sirloins at 133° for two hours and then seared them with a map torch. They were excellent. I’m betting this will be too.

interesting ... I will be curious to see if the connective tissue breaks down with it only being 135° ... 3 hours of smoke doesn't sound like much smoke (but I like heavy smoke) on an already 135° brisket. Keep us posted on how things progress. My initial thought is it will be very tough and/or chewy but I could be wrong.

Think bone broth. A long simmer renders the fat and turns the tough stuff into collagen. It should be very tender. I hear doing a chuck roast gets you pretty close to prime rib.

I've done numerous things with my sous vide, steaks come out badass, as well as the many ribeye roasts.
I tried doing ribs, following the instructions. Tenderness was great, but the taste was not very good at all. Not sure what happened but the taste was just off putting.
Probably won't do a brisket like this, but did you have to buy special wide bags, and if so, how did you vacuum seal it?
Love my Anova, but just have a hard time trusting something to be running for 3 days.

I used a 12” bag. It’s only half of the flat. I’ve got two more bags seasoned and ready in the freezer.

Ok got ya. I've seen a 16# brisket done on a YouTube channel called sous vide everything. I just doubt the smokiness of it since it's only smoke for 3 hours. I'm on a sous vide FB page, and many swear by smoking before sous vide, and then after as well. I have no dog in that fight since I've never done a sous vide brisket.
Good luck.

I have also worried about how much smoke flavor a brisket would take on after it's be sous vide. I am very interested to see how this all turns out.

As long as you cook it yourself and pay attention. Many don’t know how to do that.
Sorry that some people can’t cook and others are lazy.

The brisket can only take smoke for about 3 hours anyway. Once the surface temp hits about 160°F smoke can't penetrate any further into the meat. You can throw it into the oven at that point and the smoke level will be the same. Although, It will cook differently in the oven, mostly due to the humidity differences in an oven vs. a smoker.

I sous vide a lot, but have never had the "want to" for a brisket. That's a long time and takes way to much planning ahead for me. If I were to do it, I would smoke for 3 hours, sous vide it, then smoke again long enough to dry the surface and "crisp" it back up. I'm excited to see how it turns out. The best way to become a great cook is not sticking to the old ways and trying to learn new stuff.

It’s almost done.

From here it goes in ice to stop it cooking immediately, then ine fridge overnight. I’ll smoke it in the morning. It’s whiskey time now.

Dang this isn't finished yet?

New idea for the worlds longest cook... someone get a brisket and dry age it for 40 days then sos vide it for 30 hours then chill it for a day or three then smoke it for 12 hours lol

Seriously Im interested to see how this turns out, but I don't think I will ever have the time or patients to devote to this.

For sure not a brisket, I hope it will be worth the trouble.

I went out on the back porch to fire up the smoker and turned around and came back in. Too cold, wet and windy. I’ll smoke it tomorrow.

It sure ain’t pretty now, but the smoker will probably fix that. It reminds me of pastrami..:

SUCCESS!

I couldn’t stand it, so I put it in smoke between rainstorms. It’s extremely tender, it’s tasty, and it’s the only way I’ll do brisket from now on. The slices with fat in them are the best.

I saw some comments about all the trouble. It’s actually much less trouble than a normal 14 - 16 hour smoke. And yeah, it’s got plenty of smoke in it. I started it on hickory and finished it on mesquite in the MES. Two hours at 135°, last hour at 150°.

Yep, it’s a little different. Closer to a really tender steak.
